Robert Pollard - Privately lyrics

In the midst of this effort Courageous tongues are bitter Don't blast them Bring posters and broadcast Not a public display But a new secret Come there to pretend Bring your children Allow them to watch to the end Before most of us knew it Contagious words have bitten Don't use them Don't post them for broadcast Keep then private and away Like an old weapon Come here on command Like good children Allow us to watch 'til to the end Cigarette lifter The frozen violins Solid movement Privately
