Metropolitan


Let us make dirt tracks miles long.
To let our enemies know that we mean business.

Let us stiffen our lips and clench our fists.
To let our enemies know that we are tough.

Let us sit amongst the meek and tell stories of grandeur.
To let them know who is boss.

Let us dawn our apparrel of black and gold and gowns of platinum.
To let them know who is morally affluent.

Lets us go make the sun rise twice everyday.
To knock the final nail into their coffin.
