Minuteman For The Moment Lyrics - Singles - Look What I Did

[praetexta](subject) 

the orator's never listening 

but he understands us perfectly 

our fears, our hopes, our faults, our dreams 

this is what i do for him 

and this is what he does for me 

[v1](narrator) 

when your time does 

whatever it is that time does 

when it doesn't 

at least as far as your concerned 

the periphery dissipates 

which is in essence what you might believe was your life 

was never even a part of it 

check mate... hey! 

[choral](subject) 

the rusted screws 

serve a purpose 

bend at the elbows 

the arms are not just for melting off 

i can be your 

action figure 

pose me in your favorite military taunt 

[postchoral] 

i will do backbends for anyone 

[v2](narrator) 

consciousness fading 

does not leave room for the companionship of another blinking light 

that shared experiences 

can be calculated as percentages of time spent 

waiting in line or taking out the trash 

is the scariest fucking thing 

checkmate... hey 

[choral] 

[postchoral 2](subject) 

i will do backbends for anyone 

warning! (narrator) 

a mob's an angry sea 

that swallows everything 

[outro](orator) 

let's band together to protect the weak 

the weak they need a banner to fly 

and mine is the one that they'll hold up 

fasces... hey! 

our commodity is your dissent 

your angst, my wallet 

get in my wallet 

counterculture sure is big business! 

and this is what i do for it 

and this is what it does for me! 

the [] = schedule in arrangement 

the () = which character is being played during the schedule.
