Текст песни: People Will Read Again + перевод

Peter upped the stakes, a tongue for battle

Cisae came to play, then ran for cover

I don’t know, just arrived home…

Soup is on the table

Grilled cheese and Campbell’s

Fuel the troops for fighting

I burnt my tongue

But showed no sign of pain or fear

Too much rain to fight today, oh no

Skinned up knees and grassy stains, oh no

But we’ve got ground to stand today

And we won’t stay indoors…

Chupacabra’s on the wing

Now come back down, sir!

Bentley cleared his plate

And then cleared Toto’s

Put my faith in Bear and Bartok!

You can hide, but I’ll smell it

The stink of wet fur

But you see I don’t mind it

You can hide but they’ll find you

My team of black birds

You can hide but they’ll find you

They’ll see your tail behind the bush

If we’re picking teams

Stuck with Piggy and his shallow breathing

No piggies on my team

No piggies, no (we'll smash that shit up)

I mean, if we’re picking teams…

And if we take this battle to the water

You’ll be stripped of skin

By the dancing otters (a cunning breed)

Do you feel that slime between your toes?

The screeching eels are singing

«yah yah yah yah, yah yah yah yah»

They’ll pull you down

And pluck your eyes

To eat them!

Too much rain to fight today, oh no

Skinned up knees and grassy stains, oh no

We’ve got ground to stand today

And we won’t stay indoors for anyone!

Little lumps of earth under their nails

Little pink round boys that smell like moss

Escaping out the door before she could

Protect their noses from the frost

Little fingers on the trigger

Their little minds right on the cusp

Of pointing guns at one another

Tree trimmers starting at the trunk

Atop the neighbors dogs

We set our course for North

My comrade dug his spurs too deep

The bastard bit of course

But on the back of Scout, he and I took the lead

We burst forward in the night

We were using hands as guns

They pulled their fingers back like they had bows

They grabbed their chests like they’d been shot

We chucked crab apples forth like they were bombs

And through the neighbors lawns, over the miles of hedges

We tear up flowers melting soundless in their filthy beds

Scout’s fur a mess of burs, my skin a swollen grey

I patch his wounds up with my shirt and scrape the mud away

And just beyond over the hill I see a pair of eyes

Our pace, just like the little mean red bouncing spheres, it multiplies

And just beyond, over the hill, a glowing swarm of flies!

We point and shoot, never ask why

Tree fingers and trigger fingers alike

Can both agree

This is a war!

I’ll be the dirt soldier

Caught up in the great war

I’ll be the dirt soldier

Sent off to…

Too much rain to fight today, oh no

Skinned up knees and grassy stains, oh no

We’ve got ground to stand today

And we won’t stay indoors for anyone!
