The Truly Romantic

from Chompin' at the Bit by Deer Thomas

/

lyrics

What do you want
Besides our blood and sweat?
Here-here, take 'em on
And the wasted breath of the word

You'd have us work for a pittance our whole lives
And we still find the means to sing love songs

We are the truly romantic
You're already dead and gone
You just know it
Yet

Because the subtle way that we fight back
Is honour-ship
And we'll sail on by
Sail away

We got dandy
Lion headdresses
We got the pen
We've got truth on our side

What do you want
Besides our blood and sweat and tears?
Here take 'em all
And the wasted breath of the word
