Lyrics
Brought Up Short
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We who are about to die
brought up at the wall,
brought up short by our own bad expectations
and plain dumb selfishness,
too well brought up to cry,
brought down by a failure of will,
broken by consensus,
by limitations of our own invention,
too well brought up to turn our backs on plain dumb selfishness.
