Marching Orders |
What do these marching orders mean? |
Some hackneyed fairy tale I’d move outta their dreams |
It’s what they do |
Stepping to |
Marching ten paces in front of you |
Let’s put this countdown clock away |
Unfinished parts of the death ray on the lawn |
Let them rust, turn to dust |
What the heart can’t imagine we’ll trust |
They |
They say we can’t make this stuff up, |
But what else could we make? |
What do these marching orders say? |
Spelled out in loud forgotten language, they leave |
The voice wrecked; |
don’t connect |
What the fuse was put there to protect |
They |
They say we can’t make this stuff up, |
But what else could we make? |
Come on, really lose your voice. |
Come on, really lose it. |
They |
They say we can’t make this stuff up, |
But what else could we make? |
No, your marching orders stay |
Always despise them, anyway, |
So hell no, it won’t go |
