[Verse 1]
Go through the motions
Every day out in the square
Listen for the hidden rhythms on the air
Nod in agreement when the tyrant holds forth
Look for a beacon from the North
Protect yourself
Vouch for every member of the team
This is just a momentary ripple in the stream
[Verse 2]
Join in the rebuilding
Sing loudly at your labor
Make friends with the new guys
Be nice to your neighbor
Profess keen interest in the welfare of the state
Taste everything they feed you
Say it tastes real great
Spit it down your sleeve
Every time you get the chance
This is just a brief improvisation in the dance
[Bridge]
Raise up the columns
Take the statues down
Praise the columns
Spread the word around town
Go through the motions
Every day out in the square
Listen for the hidden rhythms on the air
Nod in agreement when the tyrant holds forth
Look for a beacon from the North
Protect yourself
Vouch for every member of the team
This is just a momentary ripple in the stream
[Verse 2]
Join in the rebuilding
Sing loudly at your labor
Make friends with the new guys
Be nice to your neighbor
Profess keen interest in the welfare of the state
Taste everything they feed you
Say it tastes real great
Spit it down your sleeve
Every time you get the chance
This is just a brief improvisation in the dance
[Bridge]
Raise up the columns
Take the statues down
Praise the columns
Spread the word around town
