The Great And The Good

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.

Stiniking to the bowels of high heaven

Creeping to the giants of status

Guarding protection of interests, not you

Not you or anything that might

Be misconstruced as help

Marching through the ashes of conquests

Slapping the backs of the empire men

Selling our consent

In the process that's you

That is you and everything

You'd be reduced to do

A pledge is a pledge

But only 'til it doesn't suit your friends

The art of double-talk

Adamant on what you really meant

A pledge is a pledge

Is a pledge, is a pledge

For lesser, for poorer

Pluck out their eyes, they offend

Dumb animals can't precede

The lucre of barbaric tests

Big noise says jump now

The chasm is never too high or wide

The corporate slow-killer

Punished with a lenient smile

A pledge is a pledge

Is a pledge, is a pledge

The arrogance, the hand in hands

Of despotic freaks that defend

An oversight where human rights

Fall at the fence of good trade

Yes man? Always

Drop the high and mighty fade?

Do the decent thing

Consider mouthing one word of truth

Blow open the grand scheme

Yes man? Always

Yes man? Always

Yes man? Always

Drop the high and mighty fade?

Do the decent thing

Consider mouthing one word of truth

Blow open the grand scheme

A pledge is a pledge

Is a pledge, is a pledge

The man is the bubble

Smiles berates the condemned

Back to his crusade

Fights off more cries of dissent
