Ⓒ Corcoran 1989 Ⓟ Corcoran BMI 2023

Early Bone Orchard composition that never saw the light of day then (probably because it was actually about the original line-up, if anybody is interested), but will be a track on the upcoming album, “Clinical Mayo”, due out late spring/summer 2023.

All instruments and vocals courtesy of M. Corcoran (the "last man standing").

Lyrics:

We were standing at the border with chance for a new order.
But you never planned to cross it, you just planned to cross your heart and your fingers,
Yeah, it figures

That now I find there is no "us", there's just "them".
Yeah, now I find there is no "us", there's just "them", there's just "them",
Me and "them".

You were standing over the toilet waiting there to catch your pipe dreams.
You'll have to pick me off the floor 'cause I won't stand for this shit no more
(no more).

'Cause now I find there is no "us", there's just "them".
Yeah, now I find there is no "us", there's just "them", there's just "them",
Me and "them".

I waited for the battle cry but found you sitting there, just waiting to die.
And all our mighty plans are buried safe beneath the sands of your indifference,
Oh well, what's the difference? Oh hell, what's the difference, what's the difference any more?

I appealed to your reason, but you answered that with treason.
And all the promises to fulfill you stood up against the wall for the kill and opened fire. ("FIRE!")

Yeah, now I find there is no "us", there's just "them".
Yeah, now I find there is no "us", there's just "them", there's just "them",
Me and "them".
