Medicine Hat (live - Acoustic Café) Lyrics - Son Volt

There will be droughts and days inundated 

Unveilings free from saturation 

Departures raised with no masquerading. 

There will be teachers that die by their own hand 

Pundits that push headlong for atonement 

Friends and followers devoted to living. 

There will be watchers that plot from in confines 

And those committed to society's circles 

Unwary cogs with no cadence or virtue. 

There will be right, there will be wrong. 

Drop of the hat and it's already started 

Just like that and the deed is done 

What I'd give for the hat to be medicine 

The time is now to be on the run.
