lyrics

We are at your mercy
I thought you should know
But you already see
That’s the way power grows:
Self-consciously

So we know that you know,
sometimes we’re equal and so
Once in a blue moon, you are at our mercy, too.

Singing is useless when I beg you to hear
Singing is power when you give me your ear

If it is a choice, can it be reversed?
Is it a choice if it has been rehearsed?
Is there a place where no one is worse?
And if there could be, would our ideas burst?
Or is it always insane and absurd
For everyone and everything to be heard?


If there’s no equality, what’s the hierarchy?
(It’s not monetary)

I hate zero-sum games
We’ll show mercy to you
In payment for the same
It’s very easy to do
But there’s no point, no aim
It comes out empty, nothing new

O entropy, we’re all at your mercy
Let’s do something we don’t have to do
Before the sun explodes
Give me something for free
Agree without fee, make a key.
I’ll say merci beaucoup,
but I won’t have to.

"Mona tried to tell me
To stay away from the train line
She said that all the railroad men
Just drink up your blood like wine
An’ I said, 'Oh, I didn’t know that
But then again, there’s only one I’ve met
An’ he just smoked my eyelids
An’ punched my cigarette' " ... more
