lyrics

Parades for all, as God intended
Shades of a populist nightmare
You stayed resolved, you almost nabbed it
Brave and contagious you live
One day you could breathe as though your lungs were kept
In papers and collected poems
You dodge the draft in depth
Exploding within
The demon spawn of avarice
And greed is morality’s pretext
Careers and cars and vacant, distant dreams of rapacity fade
Once truth has absolved you of accomplishment
It’s treated like the social norm
You leave the rest unkempt in obvious need
Keep your bones and shed the ghost
Slip away to spare the closeness
You can leave before the judgment begins to intone
You may be so indoctrinated
You crash the occasional landmark
Engage yourself in complicated plans
And performative play
Right now they could bring you down
With no offense, exactly like they did before
With consequence and pain
And barely a sound
Take your guns and leave your post
Like you did when you were homesick
You can keep yourself redundant
Commit to the cause
