We are the last thing you were looking for The sharpest needle in a stack of straw A guilty feeling that won't go away Three lines of genius in an awful play
We are canaries in your deepest minds Dying to tell you everything's not fine You fly the Hindenburg, we'll sneak a match on How long's it gonna take for you to catch on?
So come on! One day our day will come That's one thing you can count on Our day will come And then the mouse will eat the mountain
We will resign ourselves to tiny pleasures Like stealing pennies from your plundered treasures Creating flickers in your constant power We are the cancer in your concrete tower
We are the thistle in your lion's paw The silent whistle to your dogs of war The little pebble in your soldier's shoes The real story in your so-called news
So come on! One day our day will come That's one thing you can count on Our day will come And then the mouse will eat the mountain Yeah, that's one thing you can count on
Unarmed and unaligned we're unafraid To start a garden in the mess you've made A patch of flowers in some barren soil Three cups of water in a sea of oil
So come on! One day our day will come That's one thing you can count on Our day will come And then the mouse will eat the mountain Yeah, that's one thing you can count on
