Work and worry is all she's known
Lived by the golden rule since the day she was born
Through all these troubled years
She raised a family
There was no time for tears
She done her best, the kids are grown
She prayed each day for a life of her own
Last night she disappeared
She's joined another tribe
Called Heretics & Privateers
He's walked this treadmill since '64
Now he shows a little gray and they show him the door
God bless the company
For two weeks severance pay
And all that sympathy
All he believed and all he learned
What made him proud and what he thought he had earned
Have now become his fears
He'll join the other side
The Heretics & Privateers
He's twenty one, she's just nineteen
Ah, but they learned a lot from what they've seen
They know blind obedience to the rules
Can leave you shattered, licking your wounds
He holds her close, looks at her face
He says, "Chasing the carrot
Is a never ending race
Success at any price
Demands its sacrifice
Some part of us will die"
She says, "One size does not fit all
And stepping on others'
Well, it won't make us stand tall
Let's find the last frontier
And live another way
Like Heretics & Privateers
Let's make our own frontier
And raise our children there
Like Heretics & Privateers"
