[a-politics]

people laughed and suffered and cheered and cried

people only get that excited when they're in love
they get excited about football, too
they get excited about politics

i wonder if it's just they need something to be excited about

i'm sorry, i guess i'm a romantic
but it was so much like love

like the blind fool
who loves today
lives today
believes today
not knowing
not wanting to know
whether this is all going to be sorrow
tomorrow

they were listening in delight
[in blind delusion]

wanting to believe
that this is it
that this is going to change their lives

Montana, Montana,
Glory of the West
Of all the states from coast to coast,
You’re easily the best.
Montana, Montana,
Where skies are always blue

M-O-N-T-A-N-A,
Montana, I love you.
