Alternative Title:
That's an Order

Transcribed by:
Christy Raymond

Trouble flash and the kid is curt
To decide his mind with fascists flirt
The needle bends, the cold relief
The messenger of replacing sleep
The brand new suit, made ready to wear
The tilted boot, the healing pair
Eyes and ears upfront to set
The ranks spin with pacing

Theres the border, all is clear
Tattooing and ration fast
And bones tangled into the mass
Sad for the loosely led trace
A blackened man falls open faced

Believe your daughters hand
Kiss the god forsaken sand
But don’t interrupt his honour
Or mention this disgrace here

Haul away boys
Remember dawn’s hour
Dust will settle it’s self
Come away boys
The centre ring is here
Till there's smoke in the air

The priest done well, the table’s burn until
The words you heard your mamma say
Don’t sound right

Taste her skin coming,
Call to her past hero’s
Tears and the aging mask
Never last
Cos someone’s on our trail tonight

Camping down the alley quick
The walls that come down brick by brick
Here’s your phone, now hear your call
Keep them at your breast as you run
From the man with all the crack in his tongue
As his words spray your conscience

That’s an order, all is well
That’s an order, all is well


The priest done well, the table’s burn until
The words you heard your mamma say
Don’t sound right

Taste her skin coming,
Call to her past hero’s
Tears and the aging mask
Never last
Cos someone’s on our trail tonight
