The Duke of York's Men

Philosophers and teenagers

Stare off into space

Nothing you can do or say

Will pierce their carapace



All the girls smile and wave

Ever dude wears a frown

And all the Duke of York’s men

Will keep marching, up and down



Like ants marching in a line

Returning to return

Rockers rocking with a dime

Ready to let the whole world burn



Just take a step back

Step down

Just take a look around

Step out

We don’t need to be like that

We don’t need to drown



Our illusory disillusionment

Of how the world must be

Apathetic and Cynical

Escape your fate with me



All the Duke of York’s men

Will keep marching up and down

Searching and praying to hope itself

To find that middle ground



Just take a step back my friend

Just take a step down

Just take a step out my friend

Just take a look around

While all the Duke of York’s men

Keep marching up and down

Reach out your hand for me

Darling we don’t need to drown

It's good and you're right. And in some ways, death is the easy way out. =) Don't wait for life to pass you by.
