10/15/21 Back from the Borders.mp3 Back from the Borders (5/22/93) A thousand good soldiers in Retrograde square Back from the borders You're the commander, you've assembled them there To hear your orders Where will you lead them? Where will you lead them? Where will you lead them? What world will you conquer? Through all of their training, through all of their lives They've been conditioned To do without thinking whatever they're told It's the tradition Where will you lead them? Where will you lead them? Where will you lead them? What world will you conquer? But underneath your balcony In the dark, hard to see Agents of anarchy plant bombs They undermine your authority While throughout society Your subjects question openly What's going on? So some you send packing and some you retrain As secret policemen Some you give medals and some will remain Following phantoms That’s how you lead them That’s how you lead them ‘Cause that's how you need them In this world that you conquer Back in the barracks, drunk on again A thousand good soldiers Are on bread and water and don't understand As they wonder Where did you lead them? Where did you lead them? Where did you lead them? What world did you conquer? What world did you conquer? What world did you conquer?
