The grey leader now speaks And in his company We have tendered the turds of the past And there'll soon be a day Where it's all disarray And who'll know what to do with the parts And they'll say i was wrong I was right all along Although nothing would ever change your mind Its hard to be frank As a carpenter's plank While a flood sucks you clear of the side The grey leader first seeks About all that he speaks Through the spyglass he holds back to front And he's stricken his ship On the taxiderm dock And the whole crew's for sale if you want And he'll say that i'm wrong And be right all along As long as custom dictates wrong and right The good times are dead They're too complicated Although nothing would ever change your mind Nothing here changes Except quantities Real monsters have manners at sea They talk law and order Be very discreet While the big kick the small down the street He don't make peace with God They always got along It's all love and a misunderstanding He opened the cage And the bird flew away And if you need any proof He's still up on the roof Ooohhhhhh yeah Nothing would ever change your mind.
