Call Out the Cavalry, Strike Up the Band

Call out your cavalry
Strike up the band
Put on your most convincing hair of command
I know when I’ve been dealt a shitty hand
Call out your cavalry
Strike up the band
(Verse)
I’ll wear any chains
I don’t wanna be free
Like a tiger born in a cage
I wouldn’t know what to do with me
I don’t wanna run, to live, to fight another day
I’m ready to be a prisoner in your victory parade
(Chorus 2)
Call out your cavalry
Strike up the band
Your easy victory is close at hand
I’ll fight just hard enough
To keep you looking great
Call out your cavalry
Strike up the band
(Verse)
Get your tarnished hair
Shine up your boots
Get a tailor to bring out your ill-fitting general suit
I don’t wanna waste my time pretending I can win
I’m throwing up my hands
I’ll turn myself in
(Chorus 1)
Call out your cavalry
Strike up the band
Put on your most convincing hair of command
I know when I’ve been dealt a shitty hand
Call out your cavalry
Strike up the band
(Verse)
Measure out your beings
I’ll look good on a cross
Hitch a yoke around my neck
Let me hold your wagon bars
I don’t wanna keep you from the clouds, they’re calling your name
Now take me to your market square
Let them call out my fate
