You fell across your guns like forty children on a sleigh ridethe money in your pockets wouldn't buy you little sinYou did your best to make it with the masters of the poorhouseBut in the end it was the lend that came to do you inYour children cannot smile for hunger, now there's nothing leftOf betrothal sweet and sweaty and a meagre sum bequestThe fence is pale and slender as the hopes with which you dressedThe grass is greener where there isn't mudAnd it might have felt like forty rivers forded for this lifeBut really you became the banks of every steaming shoreNever touched the water did your children or your wifeNever touched the water did your thirsty vision soreA colosseum built of pith on which we stand so proudThe men that lead us still are men like any in the crowdThe men that lead us still to death to stillbirth without warningThe women we should love, that you should love are still in mourning"Call back later" Joan of Arc cries wailing in the night"You men have left me fallen for my pride in black and whiteYou haggard beasts of little principle have lost the fightTo false egalitarian concoctions of the right"These would be times to make a stand or even take in handLetras de cancionesThe words of those forgotten, slammed by leaders and their claimsInstead we'll opt for times to tar and feather thoughts of guilty undertakingsMore the merrier, consider your brief spot of fameThe down and out are out and down the cannot wear the spitOf so many who would claim the crown for running at the shitThe fools were dancing all the time to let these athletes knowThat everytime they left the ground their ignorance would showNow you'll sing some praise, and now they'll scratch your backAnd forgotten will be ways of lengthening the slacktake me high above this, and watch it all descendingIt's nothing that we have not seen for years as something pendingAnd now the field hacks and mauls at population's crawlingUpon crushed knees designed to fall for frail consumer callingsBring all your fights together and call them just one warDo what you will man - we've seen it all before From Letras Mania
