NEVER MIND THE BALLADS
a dog stares in to a gramophone trumpet
waits for its call to action
mute and obedient standing to attention
look a little closer the dogs an old friend
just waiting for the end but don’t know it began
waiting to be off, - waiting for a break
and somewhere deep inside he knows he’s made a mistake
that someone inside will soon catch him off guard
watch for the end - he never wanted to start
never thought he’d go and change his mind
never thought he’d join the other side
but when he clocks in well we all clock in
when we let a friend enforce the situation we’re in
see they have an understanding and this is it
they let the dogs out but we scoop the shit
look a little closer, the dog is a dog
a metaphor for what we had and how it went wrong
idioms of english mean to make you feel dumb while
the idiots are screaming that you're not fucking punk
these boots were made for marching but in all the wrong directions
up side down, inside out and backwards
these little dogs are barking,, run-on sentence
the ground we tread will rise back up and strike us down with vengeance
the vests that we wear the pants and the hair
the politics the music and the feelings we share
watch for the end - we never wanted to start
back when it began before punk jumped the shark
i thought we had an understanding, what is this?
we pay attention while you take the piss
