[The Legendary Pink Dots - The Made Man's Manifesto lyrics]
Times past, you'd waive your standards
Wave a lantern, tow the line
I'm stretched wide in holy sandals
Mine's yours and yours is mine
They'd take the freezer, break your bed
Throw you a bag with a hole for your head
Did it feel any better out there in the shed?
Recalling messiahs that wound up dead
They're taking my friend
The king of the hill with a dog at the gates
And a licence to kill smile for the camera
Down this pill you're twice as
Impressive when you stand still
They're marching in rags beriddled with fleas
That will feed on you, yes
While you still bleed
You just gonna lie there?
Now get on that steed
In the end they'll respect you see?
The judge will make signs the jury will nod
"It's the right of the free man
To keep what he's got
You can't it with you, it's sad, but amen
If you can't take it with you
Take some of them" you can stop counting
Number one you can stop counting
Leave the crumbs you can stop
There's cans on the shelf
Remember the future takes care of it'self
Wave a lantern, tow the line
I'm stretched wide in holy sandals
Mine's yours and yours is mine
They'd take the freezer, break your bed
Throw you a bag with a hole for your head
Did it feel any better out there in the shed?
Recalling messiahs that wound up dead
They're taking my friend
The king of the hill with a dog at the gates
And a licence to kill smile for the camera
Down this pill you're twice as
Impressive when you stand still
They're marching in rags beriddled with fleas
That will feed on you, yes
While you still bleed
You just gonna lie there?
Now get on that steed
In the end they'll respect you see?
The judge will make signs the jury will nod
"It's the right of the free man
To keep what he's got
You can't it with you, it's sad, but amen
If you can't take it with you
Take some of them" you can stop counting
Number one you can stop counting
Leave the crumbs you can stop
There's cans on the shelf
Remember the future takes care of it'self
