lyrics

Ever Victorious
February 18, 1991

don't cry baby when I tell you that it's all true
that the Lenins and the Ghandis will all die someday
please don't weep when I tell you that the music's gone
'cause I know that when you face it
when you get yourself down against the wall
and listen to the sounds
you find that combinations and certain personalities
will shine out from the plaster and all those moving clouds
don't cry-
when you find that all the sun's obscured
and the cars out on the highways are driving into brick walls
try to hold out through the sound effects
of those slow-mo motion pictures,
try your hand at beating up your heart against the fall
have the nerve to be the chosen one
the next one in the line now called
show the world you dare to be, the next
the answer to the pall bearer's brigade
so when you meet the sniper's bullet I didn't say you wouldn't fall
I didn't say it wouldn't hurt, it hurts to be the chosen one
it hurts to face the firing line
and if you have to give your life sometimes
to toe the line or simply fall
but you know there must be a chosen
a leader as they say of leaders
join yourself in this chance to be alive
this dance, this dream, this hear my call
take your place to make a sun
to make a life, a voice
a fall
