oh son you're not wrong
there are so many of us
who'd rather play dead 
it's easier to run than explain ourselves
and if winter of discontent
it fills your bones, its your only friend
feel free to defend your right
don't fight, simply slip out of sight
to sweeter terrain
balladeer 

sweet one, you're not wrong
there are so many of us
who'd rather succumb to the tide and give up 
then explain ourselves
and if banter and bayonets 
your neurotic boss and those idiots 
and they force you to take the test
and fail again so better yet
the sweeter terrain
balladeer
