Battering Ram

from Great Pig by Ben and Lenny

/

lyrics

all this talk about peace is giving us a little more war than we’d bargained for
do we know what we want yet?
is anyone confident that we’ve done the right thing?
is it really so obvious?
I’m not convinced that we’re out of the ditch
it makes some sense, but the nausea still exists
and that Great Pig seems like a hell of a plan
but we still haven’t seen it, and it’s getting hard to stand
if we did it my way, I’d have sent in the battering ram
with a twinkle in both eyes and four wheels of steel in the back
our own personal savior would protect us at the beat of my drum
we can do it today and quit waiting for what may never come
all this talk about war is giving me a piece of the puzzle, and I know where to put it
do you know where it fits yet, you gullible fools?
have you quit slitting your wrists yet?
I’ll show you what we’ll do:
we need to come together with renewed spirits
do you remember what they did to us?
isn’t it clear yet?
we’ve gotta look down the barrel without fear
instead of looking up for something that’ll never appear
I’m not convinced that we’re out of the ditch
it makes some sense, but the nausea still exists
and that Great Pig seems like a hell of a plan
but we still haven’t seen it, and it’s getting hard to stand
if we did it my way, I’d have sent in the battering ram
with a twinkle in both eyes and four wheels of steel in the back
our own personal savior would protect us at the beat of my drum
we can do it today and quit waiting for what may never come
all this talk about war and peace has made up my mind, and I’m going today
is anyone coming with me? we’ll split the cost 50/50
we can get lost in their city until we blow it away
just come up inside, I’ll make some room
we’ve got nothing to hide, it’s just what we have to do
it’s just what has to be done before their heads get too big
and they expect us to be fooled by their promise of pigs
there’s no such thing as flying pigs!
there’s no such thing as flying pigs!
there’s no such thing as flying pigs!
there’s no such thing as flying pigs!
