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
ย
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
ย
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
