House Of Heroes - Pioneer

Whatever happened to the outlaw?
Mighty men who were great and flawed
Whatever happened to the renegade?
Modern man came and put him in a cage

Whatever happened to the pioneer?
Who faced the great unknown with a trembling fear
Whatever happened to the hard and lean?
Who cut their way through the world with a primal scream, yeah

Oh, pioneer, don't seem like a choice to me
You can be safe or you can be free (pioneer)
Oh, pioneer, no law in the new frontier
Keep your eyes open and your pistol near (pioneer)

Welcome back to the neighborhood
A few things should be understood
'Round here I'm your only friend
Your priest, your blood, your protection

Open your eyes, it's us and them
Cops still cheat and saints still sin
But the hunger in our belly makes us hard and lean
To cut our way through the world with a primal scream

Oh, pioneer, don't seem like a choice to me
You can be safe or you can be free (pioneer)
Oh, pioneer, no law in the new frontier
Keep your eyes open and your pistol near (pioneer)

I don't have no fear, I'm a
In a new frontier, I'm a
Keep a pistol near, I'm a
Pioneer

Oh, pioneer, don't seem like a choice to me
You can be safe or you can be free (pioneer)
Oh, pioneer, no law in the new frontier
Keep your eyes open and your pistol near (pioneer)
