Rank & File - Moses Sumney

They’re in soldier mode, they’re in toy soldier mode right now

They can’t move their hands off their sticks

'Cause they a bunch a' cowards

Watch them assemble

Looking for trouble

March in formation

March for our nation

Now I don’t care what I’ve been told

Hey, two, three, four, five, six

This police state is much too cold

Hey, two, three, four, five, six

Cut from crooked cloth and mold

Hey, two, three, four, five, six

This police state is much too old

Hey, two, three, four, five, six

Puppets, erect

With batteries set

They charge for a while

And fall right into rank and file

When they forget

That we cut the checks

They get really riled

And fall right into rank and file

They fall right into rank and file

They fall right into rank and file

Fall right into rank and file

They fall right into rank and file

I paid you to arrest me?

Now watch how they tremble

Without credential

Orders they follow

Skin deep and hollow

Their governing master

To their hip is plastered

Say protect and serve us

But murder’s not service

Now I don’t care what I’ve been told

Hey, two, three, four, five, six

To kill so quick is animal

Hey, two, three, four, five, six

Now I don’t care what they might say

Hey, two, three, four, five, six

It’s gon' come back around one day

Hey, two, three, four, five, six

Puppets, erect

With batteries set

They charge for a while

And fall right into rank and file

When they forget

That we cut the checks

They get really riled

And fall right into rank and file

They fall right into rank and file

They fall right into rank and file

Fall right into rank and file

They fall right into rank and file

They fall right into rank and file

They fall right into rank and file

Fall right into rank and file

They fall right into rank and file

Hey, two, three, four, five, six

Hey, two, three, four, five, six

Hey, two, three, four, five, six

Hey, two, three, four, five, six

Hey, two, three, four, five, six

Hey, two, three, four, five, six

Hey, two, three, four, five, six

Hey, two, three, four, five, six

That’s too much power

If we make you nervous

What is your purpose?

Worship your trigger

And ignore the figures

You’re tumblin' into rank and file, and

Crumblin' into rank and file, and

Stumblin' into rank and file, and

Mumblin' into rank and file

You’re humblin' into rank and file, and

Fumblin' into rank and file

You’re tremblin' into rank and file

And fall right into rank and file
