Okkervil River The Latest Toughs Lyrics:
ll the latest toughs, you've got to shrug them
off or shut them off. With ten-thousand-time-told
truths, you've still got to ask for proof. Ask
for proof, because if you're dying to be led
they'll lead you up the hill in chains to their
popular refrains until your slaughter's been
arranged, my little lamb, and it's much too late
to talk the knife out of their hands. Well, I woke
up on a foggy morning. Hiding from the sun, he was
hiding from the sun. But it came out and it shot
its rays down. Burning everyone, it was burning
everyone. But they were dying, anyway, to turn to
ash, to feel their feelings flash and finally fade
away, in a fabulous and fiery display. Look,
though, I don't know what notes you want to hear
played, I can't think what lines you'd like me to
sing or say, and I'm not sure what subjects you

All the latest toughs, well, we have seen that
stuff, and we have seen enough blood in dying
coughs, which means that we have lost. We have
lost, and if you're crying to be tossed
they'll toss you down the oubliette with all the
old things that you let yourself forget because
you'd like to love a star who'd throw you down
below the ground he thinks you are.
