Disturbance at the Heron House Lyrics
[Verse 1]
They're going wild, the call came in
At early morning predawn then
The followers of chaos, out of control
They're numbering the monkeys
The monkeys and the monkeys
The followers of chaos, out of control
[Chorus]
The call came in to party central
A meeting of the green and simple
Try to tell us something we don't know
[Bridge]
Hmm
[Verse 2]
They're meeting at the monument
The call came in, the monument
To liberty and honor under the honor roll
They gathered up the cages
The cages and courageous
The followers of chaos, out of control
[Chorus]
The call came in to party central
A meeting of the green and simple
Try to tell us something we don't know
[Verse 3]
Disturbance at the Heron House
A stampede at the monument
To liberty and honor under the honor roll
Just a gathering of grunts and greens (Just)
The cogs and grunts and hirelings
A meeting of a mean idea to hold
[Outro]
Feeding time has come and gone
They'll lose their heart and head for home
Try to tell us something we don't know
We don't know, everyone allowed
Ooh, everyone allowed
Everyone allowed
