Lyric

If I could put a picture of your face on a flag 
Take it up to Mt Fuji on a mast to wave 
I could make this broken world a country 
But it would have to be a really big flag 

If I could get the music of your laugh on the air 
In heavy rotation into every car 
I could make some ears to hear their heads on straight 
But it would have to be a really broad band 

This broken world will break you in a minute 
If this broken world's a cat you gotta skin it 
Once you're in, you know you're in to win it 
I like this broken world broken, with you in it 

Let's saddle up the posse, spike the coffee 
Chicory with cashew wine 
Lassoo the yearling calves from the chuckwagon jack 
And lash the cattle within an inch of their lives 

If I could float your name upon the silent sea 
In letters as big as any country 
We'd all look to the moon and get the picture 
The geek shall inherit the earth
