Palace Brothers - For The Mekons Et Al. lyrics

S it time for you to settle down ? Yet your tiredness and sadness keep my spirits up And the guns and greed that is in your heart Well, it's what a deputy lives for O without you, o deputies exist With no voice to broadcast feelings with Ah, it's intuition, and it's luck and fear Ah, confusion and age and sweat and beer Well, if you won they'd be the new Mekons O and you perhaps a myth bygone No, they have something that they can see O and history is there to serve our cause It's memory and reality O loyalty and idolatry O money is growing on a tree Picked up by aging little men Deputies, o they will not rely On individual unions O imagination and open eyes They're the new home militia O executive branch in a nation of one We'll exercise our power O to veto, veto, veto Be the man of the hour Cause laws exist like history books For Atlantis State University And if you can forget how to ride a bike Well, you've had a good teacher O, and the words are there like a pretty picture Just hanging on the bathroom wall At age 16, you are stealing a mirror And find a friend beside you Well, say your piece incidentally And pick a dancing partner O and follow the steps and don't forget That you can use it again later O, if we drink we still think And we wake up in the morning Or we stay out all night long Well, the righteous path is straight as an arrow
