Lyrics
come, preacher, down to the shore; leader, down to the courthouse steps; teacher, to your desk. run, children, now for the hills; wildmen, now to the killing fields; swindlers, to your deals. hold, brakeman, fast for the sign; take me down the line, i will pay you twice. wait, prisoner, we're on our way; sinner, how can you pray to who cast you with a soul askew? fate, leave me now in your arms, lead me now that the charm of grace has faded away. how are we to presume that there is a truth in words that those words can unearth? slow, general, now all the troops; admiral, now that you've looped around islands where's your solid ground? well, banker, you are an ant, that tanker cruising on frantic waves was christened by your cloned work days. breathe, human, like you are air; woman, your lover's hair will clean the dirt from your burdened feet. burn, sun, origin, o star, curse these brothers in arms that they may see the error of their way.
