On the news today, they say we've got something to feed
All the experts down at the bar and grill say
It can't happen here
Turn around, did you hear the faces in town?
Sometimes I love them, sometimes I want to
It's that I've always was wrong
Tear up the treaties and full speed ahead
Send them hanging out their own back doors
They need our help, they just don't know it yet
So we'll convince them it's a friendly force
They will take away the headlines, give them everything
Double time, show them where they're gonna stay
Pushing poison off their knees
Cause we know what's best for them anyway
Won't you tell me, is that how the West was born?
Can't you tell me, is that how the deal was done?
Won't you tell me, is that how the West was born?
We dug in at the beaches and fell from the sky
Don't mind us dumping in this way
We're masked on your borders for a sightseeing trip
And if we like it here, we just might stay
So misunderstood, it's not equality
We want it just to play, so see where after
I can discount the terrors, throw your wrenches in the winds
And you'll live happily ever after
Won't you tell me, is that how the West was born?
Can't you tell me, is that how the deal was done?
Somebody tell me, is that what you do for fun?
Won't you tell me, is that how the West was born?
Won't you tell me, is that how the West was born?
Won't you tell me, is that how the West was born?
Is that how the West was born?
Somebody tell me, is that how the West was born?
Is that how the West was born?
Is that how the West was born?
Somebody tell me, is that how the West was born?
Somebody tell me
Somebody tell me
