MX Missiles

Lyrics

Those that will judge
 Will say you're aloof
 But you know the truth is a seed
 You know what you need
 Is a conflagration
 'Cause when I see the blood
 And the bits of your broken tooth
 It gives me the proof that I need
 It's the proof that you bleed
 It's a revelation
 Yeah it's a revelation
 It's a revelation
 I thought you were a life-sized paper doll
 Propped up in the hardware store
 Propped up on the front lawn watching the parade
 Of the legionnaires with two by four
 Marching off to war
 Yeah they're marching off to war
 I didn't know what you were made of
 Color of your blood, what you're afraid of
 Are you made of calcium or are you carbon based?
 And if you're made of calcium, I'll have to take a taste
 'Cause listen, calcium is deadly, but tender to the tooth
 But it's one sure-fire way to know if you're MX missile proof
 Oh no, or if you're just aloof
 You were in the ground in late November
 When the leaves and earth were damp
 Did you, did you think they would remember?
 How you almost made state champ?
 And when you're running for the game against Alfonsus?
 And you fell up on the ground and chipped your tooth?
 Oh now listen, that might really have surprised us
 To learn that you weren't really MX missiles proof
 I thought you were a life-sized paper doll
 And you propped up in the hardware store
 You were propped up on the front lawn watching the parade
 Of those legionnaires with two by fours
 It's marching off to war
 Yeah, they're marching off to war
 Oh they're marching
