lyrics

My nerves are taut
Taut as fiddle strings
Apprehension wants to sing

Groaning gins continuously spinning while they clean
Bright star, I would I were a sinuous machine

Digits on the hand can mend
A high horse who begets little sinful men
We raised them and lowered them,
Dragged them very far,
Eventually adjusted them,
And put them how they are

You're imbued with mission and risk, young man
So please try not to do much damage,
And to learn as much as you can

The people are the heroes now
