Letters to Friends playing "There Will Always be Pheasants" at the VAAC on 11/22/09 with Snuggle and Crackbox.  This is a song about the absurdity of borders, and how they are really just imaginary lines.

they built their comfort zones out of dollar signs and imaginary lines
they they wrap the whole thing up in old barbed wire
then they take a "no trespassing" sign and staple it on top
prosecuting anyone who tries to enter

this house is full of boundaries, without much form of diplomacy
this house is full of enemies, with no reason to be hostile
take me away...

they built their comfort zones out of dollar signs and imaginary lines
they they erected giant walls to keep each other out
then they called themselves countries, and all the rest were aliens
prone to get zapped if they tried to get in

this country's full of boundaries, without much form of diplomacy
this country has some enemies, with some reason to be hostile
take me away...

i deconstructed my comfort zones - no more dollar signs or lines
and i welcome anyone since i've no need for boundaries
and i welcome all the challenges i can find for myself
it keeps me alive, keeps me alive
i can do so much more than just survive!
it keeps me alive, keeps me alive

so take me to siam, take me to canaan
take me away to czechoslovakia, to the ussr
take me away to any kind of place that can give me hope for change
take me away...

but there will always be pheasants, who can fly across borders
there will always be pheasants, who've no need for fucking passports
there will always be pheasants, there will always be pheasants
there will always be pheasants
there will always be pheasants.
