Lyrics

I would send out for assistance But there's someone on the signal wire And the corporation logo Is flashing on and off in the sky They're putting all your names In the forbidden book I know what they're doing But I don't want to look You think they're so dumb, you think they're so funny Wait until they've got you running To the night rally, night rally, night rally Everybody's singing with their hand on their heart About deeds done in the darkest hours That's just the sort of catchy little melody To get you singing in the showers Oh, I know that I'm ungrateful, I've got it lyin' on a plate And I'm not buying my share of souvenirs You can stand to attention, you can pray to your uncle Only get that chicken out of here Everyone gets armbands and 3-D glasses Some are in the back room And they're taking those night classes You think they're so dumb, you think they're so funny Wait until they've got you running To the night rally, night rally, night rally, night rally Night rally, night rally, night rally, night rally Night rally, night rally, night rally, night rally Night rally, night rally, night rally, night rally Night rally, night rally, night rally, night rally
