lyrics

A frosted outcome of twisted consequence
and a spear sharpened by its own threats
so you should never listen to compliments
and keep your ears open in self-defence.

So you stay on your feet with a steady critique
and you never close your eyes even when you go to sleep
and you never missed out on a missed beat
and scream and shout for justice.
Well there's right and there's wrong and there's historical inconsistency
and behind them all is inevitable atrocity
and behind that still is rabid hilarity
so no matter what you do you're acting out a parody,
but of what I'm not sure.

Every sunset bathes countless secrets,
the harshest of words in the lightest traces.
Now a porcupine's spines detach when attacked,
there are plenty of people who are just like that.

So you stay on your feet with a steady critique
and you never close your eyes even when you go to sleep
and you never missed out on a missed beat
and scream and shout for justice.
Well there's right and there's wrong and there's historical inconsistency
and behind them all is inevitable atrocity
and behind that still is rabid hilarity
so no matter what you do you're acting out a paro - bloo bla dee dap him kla gooby gooby rim tar lo do grim par chook hampa lim lam soonoo gla paa lalala toomin paa noo gaaa

Da da da da da dada, da da da da da dada, da da da da da dada, da da da da dada...
