Praetorian Underground

[Verse 1] The Ministry of Music's having seconds thoughts again About the past, ah-hah To debate and reconsider the evidence at hand That the destiny of music will corrupt the heart of man [Chorus] Defend the fool, offend the fool, defend the fool, offend the fool Pretend the fool will let you down [Verse 2] The world had Krakatoa, an arrogant attitude What's left of Krakatoa was blown halfway across the world Into the heart of music, into the heart of men And angry Praetorian lovers rising up again [Chorus] Offend the fool, defend the fool, pretend the fool, pretend the fool Pretend the fool will let you down [Guitar and Piano Solos] [Verse 3] You can spot the James Dean forgeries by their uncertain ways Like the underground musicians, nonchalant beggars of the day Attended to by those accustomed to the brighter path Pretenders to the Praetorian flame, pretenders to the past [Chorus] Offend the fool, offend the fool, offend the fools, offend the fools A forgery will always let you down
