Cheerleaders

Cheerleaders - King of Prussia

I knew you were mine

When I stood in your doorway again

Doesn't that figurine

Sum up our last five to ten

An ivory elephant sauntering over to stream;

The ghost of us living in vessels

That we'd never see

I knew there were mines

When I ran through the minefield out back

I called it my training for

Imminent future attacks

In love and in world events

They're not really different in size

If 1/6 000 000 000 piece loses heart

There's no world through his eyes

And we say Ha hurrah

We're on the axis too

Let's get a sis boom bah

For all the good we do

Cheerleaders follow and fall

Into sitches where they can't get out

Can cover such unsubtle shouts

The fault lines were drawn

And we landed upon either side

Their aim was to conquer

And draw artificial divides

The oceans did fine but

Their vastness just left us confused

So we thought up new gods

Told our kids that there's only One Truth

We look to the hoi polloi

When it's change that we desire

Unhindered by homes or toys

They've less to make them tired

They may be dreamers or dreamy

But never know carefree

A realistic form of idealism

Is gathering strength so it seems
