The Great Capitulation

歌詞

Back when I was young, fresh as grass and innocent, Any day I'd fly away on butterfly wings If my soup was cold, the meat they served me wasn't succulent, Back it went, it's worth the wait for nicer things Birdsong up above, Push comes to shove, So you fall down from the grandstand And join the players in the band Tootle up that melody Wait, wait and see And then it's all downhill Your fall it was God's will Better let it be But within a year I would eat what I was served I learned to smile and take the medicine I'd accepted I only get this shit that I deserved On my ass or on my knees, I took it with a grin Birdsong up above, Push comes to shove, So you fall down from the grandstand And join the players in the band Tootle up that melody Wait, wait and see And then it's all downhill Your fall it was God's will Better let it be Many folk I know plan to scale the highest peak Off they go, the starry sky overhead Stone by stone you climb but your efforts leave you worn and weak Broken down, you barely make it back to bed From the God of love, Push comes to shove, So you fall down from the grandstand And join the players in the band Tootle up that melody Wait, wait and see And then it goes downhill Who knows, it's just God's will Best to leave it be Better leave it be
