Party crashers Raised up crosses While we forgot to keep the feast It felt like an epiphany Of our true allegiances To say the least I just know that We've been here before Burning incense To a strongman And we just don't know when to stop Without a sign Of contradiction Men without chests Mourned no losses While they lit up New York City pink We don't hesitate to say They love the least of these What a nice thing to think I just know that We've been here before Offering tribute with our own children And we just don't know when to stop Without a sign Of contradiction I just know that We've been here before And we just don't know when to stop Without a sign that can Contradict us There's no bloodless membership It's just a question of whose blood it is And we gather our strength against Whatever victim seems expedient And you should know cos You've been here before Being opposed from all directions And we just don't know when to stop Crucifying what Contradicts us You should know cos You've been here before We just don't know when to stop Without a sign that can Contradict us And I just know that we've been here before I cannot get around the fact Your holy innocence is the only last Contradiction That speaks against And saves us In the end Please give us a sign And contradict us Cos I know we've been here before I know we've been here before And we just don't know when to stop Without a sign of Contradiction
