The Weighty Light Brigade

We look like Spanish dancers
with much too serious faces
as if we’re being seasick
and leave too many traces
We’re the weighty light brigade
infantile and overpaid
We’re the weighty light brigade
selfassertive and afraid
We don’t have any answers
no aces up our sleeves
and all you hear is echoes
of other peoples grieves
We’re the weighty light brigade
infantile and overpaid
We’re the weighty light brigade
selfassertive and afraid
We’re the center of attention
and always on the run
pretending that we suffer
All pain instead of fun
We’re the weighty light brigade
infantile and overpaid
We’re the weighty light brigade
selfassertive and afraid
We’re the weighty light brigade
infantile and overpaid
We’re the weighty light brigade
selfassertive and afraid
We’re the weighty light brigade
