First to break won't be the first to feel the pull   Ostracised in your half-step play of the martyr   Fast to think peace talks and empty drives sound sure   Break the fool. Penance sure; decree nisi forseen   We'll sacrafice the hostage first so we don't feel the pain      Writing baccalaureate for the departed   We'll sacrafice the hostage first so we don't feel the pain   Writing baccalaureate for the departed   Wilt daguerreotype of dais   We'll execute the hostage first so we feel that we survived   Writing baccalaureate for the departed      Paint the face of pride around the room   Linoleum bathrobe represented on the telephone   to break the fall i played the fool for you
