Verse 1]
What ever happened to the outlaw?
Mighty men who were great and flawed
What ever happened to the renegade?
Modern man came and put him in a cage
What ever happened to the pioneer
Who faced the great unknown with a trembling fear?
What ever happened to the hard and lean
Cut their way through the world with a primal scream
Yeah!
[Chorus]
Oh, pioneer
Don't seem like a choice to me
You can be safe or you can be free
Oh, pioneer
No law in the new frontier
Keep your eyes open and your pistol near
[Verse 2]
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
Cut our way through the world with a primal scream
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I don't have no fear, I'm a...
In a new frontier, I'm a...
Keep your pistol near, I'm a...
Pioneer
