Those that would judge would 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 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 those legionnaires with two-by-four's As they're marching off to war Yeah they're marching off to war I didn't know what you were made of The 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 and tender to the tooth And it's one sure-fire way to know if you're MX-missile-proof, oh no Or if you're just aloof You were in the ground in late November When the leaves and earth are damp Did you, did you think they would remember How you almost made state champ Cause when you're running for the game against Alfonzo And you fell upon the ground and chipped a tooth Oh no, listen, it didn't really half surprise us To learn that you aren't really MX-missile-proof Oh, I thought you were a life-sized paper doll And you're propped up in the hardware store You were propped up on the front lawn watching the parade Of those legionnaires with two-by-four's As they're marching off to war Yeah they're marching off to war Oh they're marching
