An Ear For Baby - The Thermals

Pull out your dead roots, pull out your best suit

It’s time to inspect the subjects

Lose your intentions, lose your common sense

It’s time to groom you for judgment

Stick to a numb stare, strip to your underwear

It’s time for you to be cleansed

Keep your eyes straight for Christ’s sake

Remember we’re your friends

Good luck getting over the fence

Good luck putting even a dent in

The mission, the plan

Just breathe, you don’t need to understand

Can you hear me?

The siren’s on

Let the water run, leave the lights on

An ear for baby if you need it

Can you hear me?

I’ll repeat it

Draw the bridges, dig the ditches deep

We’re gonna need a new border

Get thyself in line, it’s time for reassignment

Time for a new first world order

We got a job to do, we don’t ask, we tell you

Work is freedom, sloth is sin

So pull out your dead roots, pull out your best suit

You know, the one they’re gonna bury you in

Good luck getting God on the phone

Good luck getting even a tone

You can trust me, it’s not a test

I won’t leave you with the mess, any questions?

Can you hear me?

The siren’s on

Let the water run, leave the lights on

An ear for baby if you need it

Can you hear me?

I’ll repeat it

Good luck getting over the fence

Good luck putting even a dent in

The mission, the dream

The body, the blood, the machine

Can you hear me?

The siren’s on

Let the water run, leave the lights on

An ear for baby if you need it

Can you hear me?

I’ll repeat it
