Lyrics

mr richards your position
is a messenger pigeon
left to find you when the camera moved on
we thought that you would listen
but the words they never crystallized
into a tune that you might own

hey hey

mr richards your decision
pay attention pay attention
mr richards you’re forgiven
for a narrow lack of vision
but the fires are still raging on
the public’s got opinions
and its consequences border on
[no idea here...]

hey hey

mr richards your decision
pay attention pay attention
mr richards your decision
pay attention pay attention
so listen your intention
sign the papers scan the river
you’re mistaken if you think we’ll just forget

you can thump your chest and rattle
stand in front of your piano
but we know what’s going on
yes we know what’s going on
we’re the children of the choir hey
and we know what’s going on
mr richards your conviction
had us cheering in the kitchen
now the jury’s eating pigeon pie
so tell me how is prison
have they taught you how to listen
we’ve begun to bridge this schism
pay attention pay attention

mr richards your decision
pay attention pay attention

you can thump your chest and rattle
stand in front of your piano
but we know what’s going on
yes we know what’s going on
we’re the children of the choir hey
from the compound fire hey
and we know what’s going on
yes we know what’s going on
