The Centre Cannot Hold
My Friend The Chocolate Cake

You don't you dare go cross the border
While the pass is impassible
The lies and masks and television
Go flex you mighty dumb men
They're not what they appear
And the river froze like Stalingrad
The army of wild boars attacked
Their metal boots crunched up the ice
We watched behind closed doors

And like the water in the well
We need wisdom more than ever
Even with the best intentions
The centre cannot hold
The centre cannot hold

They took away our only pleasures
Smashed down the songs of jubilation that we sung
And they watched like eagles from the towers
Fine bodies built from armoury
That's what the old ones' stories
Used to tell us all the time

And like the water in the well
We need wisdom more than ever
Even with the best intentions
The centre cannot hold
The centre cannot hold

We must flee before the winter
Before the snowline traps us in
Before the bombs of gas rain down
On our worst sleepless nightmare

And like the water in the well
We need wisdom more than ever
Even with the best intentions
The centre cannot hold
The centre cannot hold
