the dowling poole - the straw man lyrics

lauded all but canonised for service and self+sacrifice he held the crown
and no one paid attention as he moved around to
pastures green but out of view, content to buy the picture that they knew so well
and all will say there was no way for anyone to
tell no secrets but you live with a lie
n0body wants to believe it so they turned a blind eye
and it all seems too much to contain
drinks to forget while we’re washing the stains from our hands
seems we don’t understand at all

n0body gets that goodbye moment – n0body gets to close that door
everyone comes to burn down the straw man
take them to pieces – watch them falling
one by one by one by one by one
hiding in plain sight it seems, with promises of making all your dreams come true
he built a web so intricate that most of us were
fooled and taken in at first and no one cared to hear the injured curse his name
and every institution holds a portion of the
blame won’t help now the damage is done
they need a head to roll though the criminal’s gone
there’s no way to undo the pain
and everyone’s scared it could happen again and it may
when the decades have slipped away

n0body gets that goodbye moment – n0body gets to close that door
everyone comes to burn down the straw man
take them to pieces – watch them falling
one by one by one by one by one

gold to buy the silence and the license to behave
any way you choose to when your answerable you say
no one seemed to notice – carry on

a thin veiled threat that he could take a few down
maybe they hang their heads when there’s no one around
and it’s so hard to take it all in
blind to the plastic celebrity grin that he wore
now your medal means so much more

n0body gets that goodbye moment – n0body gets to close that door
everyone comes to burn down the straw man
take them to pieces – watch them falling
one by one by one by one by one
