Ed O’Brien
Attenzione! (Portland Soundcheck 25 March 1996) MD111
[Verse 1]
The unacceptable face of
The docile and the good
That crawls into the box with
Anyone at all
Rejoicing to come
And no working this out
I don't want it to hurt
I don't want it go
But if we stand up they'll
Mow us down again
[Verse 2]
I don't want it to stand but
Sorrow's in my head
I don't want it to stay but
I may as well be dead
I know what I want, baby
I know what I want, baby
I know what I want and it is
It's written in your head and
If we stand up they'll
Mow us down again
[Verse 3]
The unacceptable face of
The docile and the good
The unacceptable face of
The smiling brotherhood
The joy of the uprising
The action into the chain
An action with some meaning
A brief release of hope
And if we stand up they'll
Mow us down again
[Outro]
La la la la la la la
La la la la la, baby
