I’ve used this title before to write lyrics, but I find it an interesting and useful turn of phrase, so here’s another try.
New Model Army
lyrics by @sheltgarner
please give credit if you produce or perform
you left me alone
to fend for myself
without even a belt to wear
or a explosive vest
but I’m back and ready to fight
with an army that knows how to bite
I have a
new model army
one of my own devices
new model army
new model army
new model army
one you can’t defeat
as long as I’m on my feet
it’s no small feat I must admit
to assemble this cast
I’m ready to go out with a blast
your walls of fate are ready to fall
just like Constantinople before it wailed
I have a
new model army
one of my own devices
new model army
new model army
new model army
one you can’t defeat
as long as I’m on my feet
(bridge)
I’ll lay down my arms
and embrace you with them
if you give me the truth
for once before it’s too late
but I know you too well
that’s not going to sail
so it’s the new model army
back on the attack
I have a
new model army
one of my own devices
new model army
new model army
new model army
one you can’t defeat
as long as I’m on my feet
