Keeping This Seat Warm

Did they crush the enemy from standing?
And I'm just a citizen from Maine
Did they stop the hunters from hunting?
And I'm just aloof all the same

I'd rather be riding on trains
'cause this is the problem I face

I'm living far from all the tragedy
Can't hear the bombs through
all the merry themed dramas that come over me
I'm keeping this seat warm

And we watch the desert keep talking
and I'm drinking for the machine
Let's hurry up, the anchor is talking
Let's head to the market in rains

I'd rather be riding on trains
'cause this is the problem I face

I'm living far from all the tragedy
Can't hear the bombs through
all the merry themed dramas that come over me
I'm keeping this seat warm

In case we all get bored
from the simple life in store
forget the men at war
I'm keeping this seat warm
