Stand and Deliver

Breath in the autumn air
Your call is too late to reach my ears
I'm not the one they wanted
But they got me, ball and chain

Wait up
Just a minute now
Are you telling the future is mapped out
I'm not so certain of the ending
But if you speak your peace
I'll listen

Bound and gagged
Stand and deliver now
A cornucopia of inadequacies for you to feed upon
Step in line
For risk of starving your dependency
Bound and gagged
Stand and deliver now
A cornucopia of inadequacies for you to feed upon
Step in line
For risk of starving your dependency

Pull the cover back on your paperback cage
Read the words back and tell me what they mean to you
To me they're the societal poison my spirit's fighting back
Under the crushing weight of regulated freedom
Tell everything in me that fights
That you really need them
So when I've mustered the strength
You won't have to stand alone
You will not be alone

Bound and gagged
Stand and deliver now
A cornucopia of inadequacies for you to feed upon
Step in line
For risk of starving your dependency
Bound and gagged
Stand and deliver now
A cornucopia of inadequacies for you to feed upon
Step in line

Freedom to fail
Freedom to live
Freedom to fail
Freedom to live
Freedom to fight
