i was getting ready to be a threat
 i was getting set for my accidental suicide
 the kind where no one dies, no one looks too surprised
 and then you, then you realize that you're riding on the para-success
 of a heavy-handed metaphor
 and a feeling like you've been here before
 
 cause you've been here before, and you've been here before
 then a word washed to shore
 then a word washed to shore
 then a word washed to shore
 
 sovay, sovay, sovay
 all along in the day
 
 i was getting ready to consider my next plan of attack
 i think i'm gonna sack the whole board of trustees
 all those don quixotes in their b-17's
 and i swear this time, yeah this time
 they'll blow us back to the seventies
 and this time
 they're playin Ride of the Valkyries
 with no semblance of grace or ease
 and they're acting on vagaries, with their violent proclivities
 and they're playing ride, playing ride
 playing ride, ride, Ride of the Valkyries
 
 sovay, sovay, sovay
 all along the day
 
 i was getting ready to threaten to be a threat
 instead of thinking about my plan of attack, think about a sack
 the whole board of trustees, all those don quixotes in their b-17's
 and i swear this time it blows back to the 70's
 and this time, they're playin Ride of the Valkyries
 with no semblance of grace or ease
 now they're acting on vagaries
 with their violent proclivities
 
 and they're playin ride
 and they're playin ride
 playin ride, playin ride, playin ride, playin ride
 Ride of the Valkyries
 
 sovay, sovay, sovay, sovay, so
