Lyrics

Elephant

Here

Comes

Here comes the argument

Silent rage is no defense (Men came from every darkened hole of the ship) [?]

(Great ship)

Against a senseless argument (Talking aside is definitely what they may face)

All this progress with thought (Every stroke of token says [?], love me, baby)

(Very pointy)

It's not to activate (Another one says,)

Know what to say and do (In detail, short and skinny)

(Covered in shit and hair, many hairs)

This will confront you (Another one runs inside and says,)

(Very bumpy)

Fact of the manner is (With no cares, they all shout homerun as if) [?]

Facts don't matter

Anti-intellectual (That is what became) [?]

The new virtue (The new virtue)

Repeat a lie (Resort to point and calling names as if)

That makes it true (That makes it true)

Repeat a lie

That makes it true

Repeat the lie

If you say elephant

Already failed test

If you say elephant

Already failed

Repeat a lie

Repeat a lie

Repeat the lie
