Bringing Us Down Lyrics by Les Savy Fav

Inches

2004

You're bringing us down
Hear the symphony in the 5-man band
Try to sympathize but you can't understand
Set my mind to intervalometer
It moves so slow from desk to dresser
Hits the ground without a sound
It took 5 years just to get down
Who put up the flag?
We haven't got a door
Yet if they storm the fort tonight
Leave your pistol by your bed
We have jeopardized our situation
Disengage the ammunition
We are on a mercy mission
Take away the golden epaulettes
From the fallen dead cadets
Let their rank stand as their epitaphs
Throw their bodies in the acid bath
Drop the C-code and go for the gusto
The man at the plant swears the foreman must go
If the chief says, "Fight!"
Let the chief go ahead
The squaw and the scout will stay in bed
If the chief says, "Jump!"
I say, "Not I."
If the chief says, "Jump!"
I say, "How high?"
