lyrics

Distinguished by its size, it tucks itself away
Adopting the shape of its neighbor state
Comparable to the Great Red Spot
the singularity of the state of Vermont

Samuel de Champlain, how about you explain
the cows in the hills, the motorbikes
Trundling in front of military cargo
set up to secure the borderline

The maple trees are waiting to be tapped again
in names of towns that seem to repeat themselves
Each one built on top of a brewery
just waiting for its chance to erupt from the ground

Senator Sanders, do you have an answer
for raising the stakes of rural life?
Everything is small batch, people driving too fast
Add a little smoke to the greenery

They write songs about your moonlight
But don't go out at night
Champ is getting restless
For what he's been denied

Your proximity to our enemies
Is exactly what we need
You heard Father Rale, let's get on their tail
and drive those winos home

And there's war again down in Bennington
New Yorkers, beware
Those Green Mountain Boys make a joyful noise
and shoot into the air
