Lyrics:
Puppets, erect
With batteries set
They charge for a while
And fall right into rank and file
When they forget
That we cut the checks
They get really
Exalted Battlemaster
Lead them rank and file
Divisions of our stern and taciturn warriors of the past
Unrelenting and steadfast
Conscripts kept in
I'm standing with the rank-n-file I'm marching with the underground our black hearts worn on our sleeves
let my imagination go and drop me where
the latest in the longest rank and file that's ever to exist
In the history of the protest song
How can I tell you I hear the way you are
How can I tell
go away!
If your heart is done, Johnny get your gun!
Join the rank and file, on your TV dial
You come around looking 1984
You're such a bore,
thinking about tomorrow
Today she just ain't willing to believe
What we're taught to believe
It's suicidal
Scares the life out of me
That rank and file
set you high, above rank and file
And then I'll send you out to burn
They've held you down, for your whole life
And now it's time that they learn
I'll
flies on the windowsill
Oh
We used to be lords
Now we’re rank and file
Like a frightened mutt
We go belly up
Brother, won’t you count to four
Then
Mississippi is burning
Mississippi is learning
The people inside have scattered or died
Rank and file have been defied
Vampires and werewolves
twilight
There he goes
Naked revelations
That are given to the rank and file
Stone might give you confidence
Then hold you down a sunken place
Wait a minute
with
Your strength is their strength
Can't beat the rank and file
Go get organized!
I joined the union & started signing up
I found a man ten years
When a lonely whistle
Calls out your name?
What a man likes to see
When they come after mine
No prettiness for the mighty black lung
Rank and file
A Clone force mass produced
Simulate, introduce
Delinquint, rank and file
Incodent, stamped and styled
[Repeat: x2]
Ill-affected progeny
I can't seem to take you anywhere
We ditched your friends at Williamson Square
Where the rank and file shoot us dirty looks
Hail a taxicab, don't
Content within
your inner prison
Divisive deadening
of all the senses
Rank and file
Marching endlessly
United in mental helotry
Solidarity
Hello, what do we have here
It's Atomic Profile, laser-guided fear
Tell a story that is money
The only one we all believe in
Pull rank and file
The rank and file
In your memory
The trojans in your industry
The geek titans
Rewriting
Your programs
In their infancy
Cyber Infantry
Dot EXE
a wilderness
Well I can make my paradise
Without your walls I am alive
No body I, in rank and file
Girl and boy and man and wife
Flesh your measure with a smile
to snap hands clapping cracking codes & ribs
Fire up & down the rapids shoot the medecine
He'll quit and join the race, the rank & file for normality
If
While manboys pillage and play,
Collecting bribes that they're paid. RANK AND FILE.
Forty more, I'll use my time,
Holding space and making place for those
the rain gonna go, you know
Stepping off sharply from the rank and file
Awful cold and dark like a dungeon
Maybe get a little bit darker 'fore the day
disembodied
Let's fry
Like a Paxton blower
Like a Paxton twist
Black Cadillac
Aphrodesiac
Loaded
Tankin', skankin' with the rank-n-file
Load me up
the rain gonna go
You know
Stepping off sharply from the rank and file
Awful cold and dark like a dungeon
Maybe get a little bit darker 'fore the day
my sights
Just to get struck
I walk away from the rank and file
With a punched out mouth
And a pack of style
I say, she's the one she's
