Even the Oxen

from The Power of Sound by Jonny Polonsky

/

lyrics

Oh no no
What's this here?
Young deliquents from some
Lost ancient species

All we wanted was to thank you
All they wanted was
What was it they wanted?

To call your name
Is to burst into flames

Here comes the wave of disappointment
Formed from the lies for which we fell
Even the oxen, free of reason
Do realize that it's their fate

Dullards, freaks and all varieties
Of parasites surround you
Around you
Hold your breath and count to zero
Collect the droppings of your heroes

Why are we here
With your mouth in our ears?
You call my name
And I burst into flames

Here comes the wave of disappointment
Formed from the lies for which we fell
Even the oxen, free of reason
Do realize that it's their fate

Here comes the wave of disappointment
Here come the dolts with mouths agape
Even the oxen, free of reason
Do realize that it's their fate
