White Hinterland - Lindberghs & Metal Birds lyrics
rate meComing through the mitrailleuse<br />
A Howitzer cannon and a Thompson gun<br />
Oh you're a slovenly bunch<br />
Lousy with sin<br />
<br />
You're no better than those altruists<br />
And the eagle scouts you belong<br />
With the haemophiliacs<br />
Out on the front line<br />
Out on the front line...<br />
<br />
We've got the straw in the wind<br />
To fill your belly with buckshot<br />
It's a minor detail<br />
That we furbished with white-out<br />
<br />
You want something concrete<br />
But your city is sinking,<br />
It was built on sand<br />
You should have planned ahead<br />
Oh leave it up to the Lindberghs and the Metal Birds<br />
Leave it up to the Lindberghs and the Metal Birds<br />
Leave it up to the Lindberghs and the Metal Birds<br />
Keep your head out of the clouds<br />
<br />
Coming down, your victory towers<br />
The sepals to the citadel have been hulled with flames<br />
Oh you've been unveiled<br />
The manifest is writ with dread<br />
And you're no better than those altruists<br />
And eagle scouts you belong<br />
With the convalescents who couldn't make it on the front line<br />
Out on the front line<br />
Out on the front line...<br />
<br />
We've got the straw in the wind<br />
To fill your belly with buckshot<br />
It's a minor detail<br />
That we furbished with white-out<br />
<br />
And you want something concrete<br />
But your city is sinking,<br />
It was built on sand<br />
You should have planned ahead<br />
Oh leave it up to the Lindberghs and the Metal Birds<br />
Leave it up to the Lindberghs and the Metal Birds<br />
Leave it up to the Lindberghs and the Metal Birds<br />
And keep, keep, keep, keep your head out of the clouds<br />
