Kick The Loud One Out

from Oddities by Chris Shepard

/

lyrics

There's democracy between the forks of your tongue
And it's no lie that you've convinced them all
To stay so, so quiet...so quiet
So you can rise above...rise above

There's mutiny when you wage your secret peaceful war
With your incestuous cabinet of fools

Now someone's kicking around
And pulling the curtain back

Kick the loud one out
Before we all go down

There's hypocrisy in the way you wave your flag
You feed your army with the need to feed their sympathy for you

And all that good will serves you well
When you need someone
When you need someone to believe your ruse

You thrive on that compliance
Such an angelic whore

Kick the loud one out
Before they all find out

Set upon him
Play a rich man's game of playing poor
With all the cancer that you cut out
There must be an accord

You're seeking the good life
As the spoils of war

So kick out the ladder
And piss up a rope

Kick the loud one out
You're pulling out the weeds
