Nunquam non paratus
I used to hear some Polish folks a couple of generations older that me say, "Put shit in your hat."
Wish in one hand; shit in the other.

I respect what you can do
But I'd say the same about a gun
Depends which side of you they see
Some feel safe and some will run
There's so much fight you keep in store
Though in all of life, you've won your wars
And still you let yourself forget
As if it's thirty years before
Prisoner of war, prisoner of war
Though you're not held on foreign soil anymore
Bring 'em home, Jack, bring 'em home, Jack
Bring home both the mighty soldier and the boy
Something you just can't believe
The many strengths you could receive
If you could just call down your guard
Just let those forces leave
Prisoner of war, prisoner of war
Though you're not held on foreign soil anymore
Bring 'em home, Jack, bring 'em home, Jack
Bring home both the mighty soldier and the boy
And you're so strong, and that's your crutch
To keep alone and out of touch
To try to keep your heart from line of fire
So it's still trapped inside that war
Like there's a soldier at the door
It's time you told that soldier to retire
And bring 'em home
Prisoner of war, prisoner of war
Though you're not held on foreign soil anymore
Bring 'em home, Jack, bring 'em home, Jack
Bring home both the mighty soldier and the boy
But I'd say the same about a gun
Depends which side of you they see
Some feel safe and some will run
There's so much fight you keep in store
Though in all of life, you've won your wars
And still you let yourself forget
As if it's thirty years before
Prisoner of war, prisoner of war
Though you're not held on foreign soil anymore
Bring 'em home, Jack, bring 'em home, Jack
Bring home both the mighty soldier and the boy
Something you just can't believe
The many strengths you could receive
If you could just call down your guard
Just let those forces leave
Prisoner of war, prisoner of war
Though you're not held on foreign soil anymore
Bring 'em home, Jack, bring 'em home, Jack
Bring home both the mighty soldier and the boy
And you're so strong, and that's your crutch
To keep alone and out of touch
To try to keep your heart from line of fire
So it's still trapped inside that war
Like there's a soldier at the door
It's time you told that soldier to retire
And bring 'em home
Prisoner of war, prisoner of war
Though you're not held on foreign soil anymore
Bring 'em home, Jack, bring 'em home, Jack
Bring home both the mighty soldier and the boy

My baby does the hanky panky
My baby does the hanky panky
My baby does the hanky panky
My baby does the hanky panky
My baby does the hanky panky
[Chorus]
My baby does the hanky panky
My baby does the hanky panky
My baby does the hanky panky
My baby does the hanky panky
My baby does the hanky panky
[Verse]
I saw her walkin' on down the line
You know I saw her for the very first time
A pretty little girl standin' all alone
Hey pretty baby, can I take you home?
I never saw her, never really saw her
[outro]
My baby does the hanky panky
My baby does the hanky panky
My baby does the hanky panky
My baby does the hanky panky
My baby does the hanky panky
It's hard to argue with profundity like this.
My baby does the hanky panky
My baby does the hanky panky
My baby does the hanky panky
My baby does the hanky panky
My baby does the hanky panky

My baby does the hanky panky
My baby does the hanky panky

This guitar came from a timber, from the body of a tree
Through the workshop of a luthier, now it's on loan to me
And it's good company after dinner, and it fits my hands just fine
But some day another singer with a pair of hands like mine
Will coax out songs much prettier still hiding in its strings
And sing stronger, braver words than I could ever sing
And folks are gonna love it, of this I'm almost sure
So I'll take good care of it, cause I'm borrowing it from her
Pass it along, pass it along
May it land in careful hands when we're gone
You carry it for a moment
But time won't loan it to you for long
You don't own it, pass it along
This here is my country, sometimes it's hard to recognize it
But I count myself lucky, to have been born inside it
And I'm grateful for the rights others struggled hard to win
And you can be sure I'm gonna fight when they try to take 'em back again
Oh, and everywhere are teachers, though some fell along the way
The words they said still reach us, just like you're teaching me here today
And you may not speak it loud, but it's clear in what you do
And I hope to make you proud, because I borrowed it from you
Seems these days we're in a hurry, to grab up all that's left to use
Putting patents on discovery, making seeds that don't reproduce
If our vision is so narrow, seeing only bought and sold
We'll end up like the pharaohs, buried with their gold
We've all pushed this thing along, we've all been guided by our fear
But the river sings a song we've gotta be quieter to hear
It's in every child's face, new and hopeful as a stem
Best be gentle with this place, cause we're borrowing it from them
