Call out your cavalry Strike up the band Put on your most convincing hair of command I know when I've been dealt a shitty hand Call out your cavalry Strike up the band I'll wear any chains I don't wanna be free Like a tiger born in a cage I wouldn't know what to do with me I don't wanna run, to live, to fight another day I'm ready to be a prisoner in your victory parade Call out your cavalry Strike up the band Your easy victory is close at hand I'll fight just hard enough To keep you looking great Call out your cavalry Strike up the band Get your tarnished hair Shine up your boots Get a tailor to bring out your ill-fitting general suit I don't wanna waste my time pretending I can win I'm throwing up my hands I'll turn myself in Call out your cavalry Strike up the band Put on your most convincing hair of command I know when I've been dealt a shitty hand Call out your cavalry Strike up the band Measure out your beings I'll look good on a cross Hitch a yoke around my neck Let me hold your wagon bars I don't wanna keep you from the clouds, they're calling your name Now take me to your market square Let them call out my fate
