Downbeat Clique

For independence, we alone define
Open-ended, not monopolized, it's just as it is

Does not need overstatement
Don't broadcast it from the rooftops
It's we alone that convene

But radical actor, there you are
The radical statesman picking holes
But radical actor, there you are
The radical statesman's checklist of faults

But radical actor, there you are
In radical terms, this target's soft
But radical actor, there you are
In radical terms, it's power to your lost soul

But radical actor, there you are
The radical heights of alienating
To be a cut above or below

Infighting starts to establish
A clearly marked distance
Because image is at stake
Infighting starts to establish
A clearly marked distance
Because image is at stake

Mindlessly stifling, downbeat clique
Downbeat clique, downbeat clique
Down-at-heel, downbeat clique
Downbeat clique, downbeat clique

Infighting starts to establish
A clearly marked distance
Because image is at stake
Infighting starts to establish
A clearly marked distance
Because image is at stake

Pitifully sniping, downbeat clique
Downbeat clique, downbeat clique
Re-branded morality, downbeat clique
Downbeat clique, downbeat clique

Exactly what are you achieving?

The faithful patron of one conclusion
With reflection, effects are null and void
It's just as it is

But radical actor, there you are
The radical statesman picking holes
But radical actor, there you are
In radical terms, it's power to your lost soul

But radical actor, there you are
The radical slip into social structure
And your threatening alliance with the norm
With the norm, with the norm, with the norm
With the norm, with the norm, with the norm
