A Spade Lyrics

I will not lie down

On the wrongful groundwork laid

While it's still a radical sound

Just to call a spade a spade

 

Dear friends women and men

Please check my math once more

In the totality of all war's history

There's but one common denominator

 

The answer is in the intention

That lies behind the question

Put that on your standardized

Multiple choice

 

I mean how's this supposed to look to me?

But half of divinity

Out there trying to make harmony

With only one voice

 

You know i've got experience

Looking right past the obvious

And i know what is so big and so close

 

Is always the hardest stuff

For us to reckon with

The hardest stuff to know

 

Dear friends especially the women

Tell me are you up to the task?

Of turning the wheel of human history

At long last

 

The answer is in the intention

That lies behind the question

Put that on your standardized

Multiple choice

 

I mean how's this supposed to look to me?

But half of divinity

Out there trying to make harmony

With only one voice

 

I will not lie down

On the wrongful groundwork laid

While it's still a radical sound

Just to call a spade a spade

 

Dear friends women and men

What better time to face

That we've been looking for the answer

To war in the wrong place
