The English and Western Stallion Lyrics
Over it all again
Both English and Western stallion
They've got virgin eyes
Reminding of the siren
The battle was won before
Both Greco and Roman soldier
I could lose a limb
And still find the will to fight them
But what you get
No tears, just blood and sweat
Although it hasn't happened yet
Tell me the cost of war
Is anyone really listening?
I've been here before
The spirit is slowly lifting
Truth can be found within
Both English and Western stallion
They converse in riots
Up over the last horizon
And what you get
No tears, just blood and sweat
Although it hasn't happened yet
And what you'll get
No tears, just blood and sweat
Although it hasn't happened yet
Both English and Western stallion
They've got virgin eyes
Reminding of the siren
Both Greco and Roman soldier
I could lose a limb
And still find the will to fight them
No tears, just blood and sweat
Although it hasn't happened yet
Is anyone really listening?
I've been here before
The spirit is slowly lifting
Both English and Western stallion
They converse in riots
Up over the last horizon
No tears, just blood and sweat
Although it hasn't happened yet
No tears, just blood and sweat
Although it hasn't happened yet

I'm dense but here's what I've got:
After the first track, Covert Discretion, in which Gener comes clean to his shortcomings, he threatens war against his four former bandmates in verse one, the English and Western stallion and Roman and Greco soldiers. A hard fought war that will only bring blood and sweat (no tears).
Verse two foreshadows what could be if they were to converge as one again: no tears, just blood and sweat. A manifestation of how much Ween kicks ass.
That's what I've got. Am I talking crazy pills?
If it means nothing like that, it's still an excellent song.
