I'll stand the gaff tonight
But these perfidious motions
Constrict breath in breast
Ephemerous songs of patriotism
It's not the 80's anymore
That masquerade was run with broomstick
All this convenience is someone else's sacrifice
Call them infidels and hussies
Well learned are stereotypes
While we play gadabouts and royalty
How we love the living dead
Let the conversation lead to bed
With the wine upside your head
Exclaiming rape and screaming murder
But the truth will leak from pen
Exclaiming rape and screaming murder
Bristling sharp and bristling red
Metal coffins taking flight
Lost in an ocher line of sight
How majestic it's to love a memory
Blood crying from the dust
A country lost in lust
Oh Mother, how I love you so
Hope your birthday is so wonderful
Despite the fact that I cannot be there
The military pension will take my place
