Staring at the firing squad, you smile
You play your part in a rut, too tired to
Roll up your sleeves
And beg the priest to leave
And spare on farce
Walking off the charnel ground, you light
A match near the wound to sight
The dim trail of God
To rule out a fraud
Of blood and veins
The time you spent on calming down,
Oh Famous Grouse, get you
Used to being aimed at
(But) Before you realize he’ll find
How to arouse the crowd
Staring at the firing squad, you smile
You play your part in a rut.
Before you realize he’ll find
How to arouse the crowd.
