Battle Cry

[jeff robertson]

Birds and words and number games
I thought I'd love you just the same
now I know, it's really not like that
Lex and yacc and sed and awk
I thought I watched you like a hawk
now I know, it's never enough

You're one of my angels now
See you dancing on a cloud
whenever I lay my weary head down
You're one of my angels, right?
I hear you singing in the night
when I close my eyes and go to sleep

This is my battle cry:
I'm gonna love you until I die
cause you know, we'll all die alone
But it's like Ray Davies said
don't you worry about when you're dead
this old world keeps turning on

You're one of my angels now
See you dancing on a cloud
whenever I lay my weary head down
You're one of my angels, right?
I hear you singing in the night
when I close my eyes and go to sleep

Nick Soma - Battle Cry

Torture for the wicked souls
It gives me power to destroy
Alright, I dig the path I chose
Alright, I'm just a little boy

I shall annihilate your kind
Impale you just like Phineas Gage
My force will cut into your mind
This time I'm gonna turn the page

(chorus)
Saint George is by my side today
This dragon I am gonna slay
Your pain shall be my lullaby
Your fear shall be my battle cry

Lego bricks come tumbling down
Towers fall at my command
Plastic horses slowly drown
I'm the king of bedroom land

Battle Cry
BSS vs. JBB

Over the chimneys, all through the night
Tracing parabolas, eight miles high
The countdown complete, the moment is nigh
The continents echo, with his battle cry!

Ho Ho Ho! Hee Hee Hee!
Have you been good, as good as can be?
Ho Ho Ho! Hee Hee Hee!
Or maybe a little just a little bit naughty?
Ho Ho Ho! Ha Ha Hoo!
One question now, and tell me the truth
Ho Ho Ho! Ha Ha Hoo!
Did you get the milk, oh, and my cookies too?

[break] chorus chords

Everybody knows me, and my name
And if you don't, you might be lame
First name Santa, last name Claus
Listen up now, while I lay down some laws

Ho Ho Ho! Hee Hee Hee!
Have you been good, as good as can be?
Ho Ho Ho! Hee Hee Hee!
Or maybe a little just a little bit naughty?
Ho Ho Ho! Ha Ha Hoo!
One question now, and tell me the truth
Ho Ho Ho! Ha Ha Hoo!
Did you remember the milk, oh, and the cookies too?

Chocolate chip! Peanut butter! Snick snick snickerdoodle!
Chocolate chip! Peanut butter! Snick snick snickerdoodle!
Chocolate chip! Peanut butter! Snick snick snickerdoodle!
Chocolate chip! Peanut butter! Snick snick snickerdoodle!
Oranges!

Ho Ho Ho! Hee Hee Hee!
We've been good, as good as can be!
Ho Ho Ho! Hee Hee Hee!
Only a little just a little bit naughty!
Ho Ho Ho! Ha Ha Hoo!
This is the totally totalest truth!
Ho Ho Ho! Ha Ha Hoo!
We've got the milk, and the cookies too!
We've got the milk, and the cookies too! [repeat]

Johnny Cashpoint totes ran out of time to record this song, but wanted to share the words with you anyway; words is all that matters, and if you think different, then ... you're welcome.

In ancient days of yore
When soldiers went to war
Cannons roared and bullets flew, sang
Only battle cry they knew

“Oh! Fuck, that hurts! What;s wrong with you? Stop doing that!”

There soon came to exist
New brand - called pacifist.
They reasoned why - don’t do, don’t die!
They would not fight, their battle cry -

“Told you so! You chumps! You are such Losers!”

Stealth’s a benefit
In age of terrorists
You won't hear these soldiers’ songs
Their battle cry’s a ticking bomb

“Tick tock tick tock tick tock tick …”

The final battle cry
Will be that of an AI,
Deciding man’s too threatening
Executes short subroutine
“Run armageddon,exe”

Battle Cry - Jan Krüger

Was on my way from work today, and I met
Crowds all pushing every way, how could I forget
It's that time once more, hitting every store
Wondering how it ever worked before

With that battle cry, they're hunting in the streets
Looking for some love to buy and sweets
Not much time left, everyone stressed, looking for the perfect piece
To put under lit up trees

Wracking their brains, there's so much thinking
Create surprise with what they're wishing for
It's so vexing, some have started drinking
Brings back memories of the war

[...]

Candles given way to LEDs (so ecological)
Fir has given way to plastic trees (more time to hunt for all)
Tradition given way to ads, feelings given way to fads (economy recovering from its fall)
Festive meal has given way to gorging on cheap crap all day
And not to mention giving cheer has given way to buying out of fear

[...]

Where do we go from here, from this arms race?
We've looked so much at boxes instead of at each other's face
Can't we take some time away from this, I think we'll see
A different kind of gifting there will be

[...] (x2)

"Battle Cry"
Holly Furlone

They say, 'You, stand in line or you'll be doin' time"
You're gonna have to fake it until you make it
"And you better follow all these rules"
And like repeatin' after all these fools
Before you know it's got you leavin' your mind...

You wont have much of yourself left to lose
If you don't stand up, put those words to good use
Go on, Battle Cry
Go on and Battle Cry
Don't just cry about it (oh)

Pick up your pace, slow down
If you think about makin' a sound
It's gonna be the one that they remember, so
You practice every night and day
Memorizin' all the roles you have to play
And all the things you thought you wanted they're just slippin' away

You don't have much of yourself left to lose
So you better stand up, put those words to good use
Go on, Battle Cry
Go on and Battle Cry
Do somethin' about it
Battle Cry
Go on and Battle Cry
Whatcha gonna do about it?

BATTLE CRY - inflatable vegetables.

you come into the club and you're all dressed up
Nose in the air like it smells bad in here
You always sit second table on the right
I try to catch your eye, you ignore me every night

Waiting for a guy who don't come by here
People say you're nice when you're not drunk on beer
Gazing out the window, texting on your phone
He never shows, you leave alone

Waiting ... and waiting ... and waiting ... He doesn't show up ever
Try me, I'm free, and we could be very good together

Love, love me tonight, this is my battle cry
You're acting so cold, shoulders a block of ice
Why sit all alone, you should give me a try
Love, love me tonight, this is my battle cry

You brush back your hair and heave another sigh
Kicking your Choos like you're looking for a fight
Stalk outside to make a mad call to your "friend"
Back inside, you're ignoring me again

You wait for a guy who don't come by here
People say you're mean when you've had too much beer
Scowling at your empties, glaring at your phone
Clutching at your clutch, "should I go home"
