about

this song tells a story that I wrote wherein a man plans to assassinate the aristocratic leader of his crumbling nation, pining deeply for his vast illegal wealth to be distributed to his brothers and sisters.

lyrics

for all we care, we've known for quite a while
something borrowed, something's missing in here
for all we are concerned for one another
the ruling class rules out the tower's tier
well Ticonderoga! I'm the narrow mind
well Ticonderoga! I've been narrow-minded
I'm the narrow mind...

I've been dying to reach you, to meet you one time
I've been watching you walk on the walls in a straight line
I know hundreds of names, epithets to describe you
I've been dying to meet you one time

There goes the ghost of common law...
there goes the one we cannot speak for...

Are you at all ready to welcome in the greatest mind of our time?
He shook the hands, he pleads the oath
and wears the finest suit we could find

Distribute the wealth
