Armies

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.

Every scene you see is obscene

The spoken word should never be head

And every nude soon subdued

Every thought end in nought

And every scene you see is obscene

The spoken word should never be heard

And every nude soon subdued

And every thought should end in nought

We're pushing up daises, we're falling apart

Their armies are marching, we're playing the part

The censors are coming to cut at your heart

The censors are pointing before you can start

And every scene is seen as obscene

The spoken word should never be heard

And every nude soon subdued

And every thought should end in nought
