if you only knew how quickly the earth
moves then you'd abandon that little boy blue
cause deep down in his heart there's a part
there's a part that just doesn't work
and no space-age plastics or modern tactics
can repair what never was there
if you only knew there'll come a time when
the loveless will all rise
if you only knew there'll come a time when
the hopeless will all rise
cause it's all the captains and the colonels
who trade potshots out in the fields
but it's the sergeants and corporals
who act as the company's shields
if you only knew there'll come a time when
the faithless will all rise
cause it's the hostesses with the mostesses
who'll be banished to siberian posts
and the feckless and the reckless
will be awarded pillows and restlessness
