humility on parade

this road leads to rome

that road leads to ruin. i'm all up in the madding crowd

the general's been screwin' us around. the land's no longer arable

--

a river red with the rebel blood

to sweep us off our feet

do you remember?

humility on parade humility on parade

the welcome was overstayed

humility on parade

the remnants of the leisure class will crumble!

smug bastards will be humbled!

forcible miscegenation!

no bow ties

no invitations!

goodbye to all of that. you gotta look the prisoners in the eyes;

a boldness in their stare you might not recognize

as you struggle to recall your names: family and christian family and christian

family and christian! untenable position!

here comes the inquisition!

humility on parade humility on parade

the welcome was overstayed

humility on parade. i am the mustard on the wedding dress

the weevil in the watercress. i lost the language

i confess. beyond the false horizon lies the

rising up

the rising up. the rising up

oh let it come

let it come

let it come and run

no. rising up

oh it'll come

and come

come

surely come!
