Sweaters for Strawmen (Battat/Amarante)

Keep the thread like you’re a needle

Sing the tune like you’re a Beatle

And find the note that’s hard to hold

And every fantasy will fold

Play the part like you’re an actor

Every evil has its factor

Every right that’s wrongly kept

Is thievery of theft

When every lie is truly said

And every person gets falsely led

All angels break the law

Every demon’s made of straw

Every Strawman needs a sweater

Every stitching makes it better

Every lie is like a fact

And every Scarecrow needs a hat

Block the windows like a curtain

Own the room like you’re for certain

Don’t be quiet in the least

Every choir needs a priest

It’s the kind you cared to follow

In the days before tomorrow

Every dawn is led by light

And every dawn demands the night

When every lie is truly said

And every person gets falsely led

All angels break the law

Every demon’s made of straw

Every Strawman needs a sweater

Every stitching makes it better

Every lie is like a fact

And every Scarecrow needs a hat
