Fare Well, Good Fellows

[Chorus]
Fare well, good fellows
Your ways are not for me
Fare well, good fellows
Your ways are not for me

Rest upon your laurels
Glad you found your peace but
Fare well, good fellows
Your ways are not for me

[Verse 1]
Rappin' at the chapel door
Sweepin' up an enemy's floor
Do not touch or make a sound
Keep your eyes upon the ground

I read your countless volumes
Shunned your many sins
But I cannot find salvation
In the rattlin' of your tins

[Refrain]
I wish good to your children
And their own children too
But your armor will not fit me
Although fine it's suitin' you

[Chorus]
So fare well, good fellows
Your ways are not for me
Fare well, good fellows
Your ways are not for me

Rest upon your laurels
Glad you found your peace but
Fare well, good fellows
Your ways are not for me

[Verse 2]
A flag is waved, the bomb is thrown
So many names and dates to know
Books upon the books are stacked
To get somethin' so simple backwards

Dark and revolution
But spirals, not the spins
Where you'll fall down dizzy
And forget where to begin

[Refrain]
I wish good to your children
And their own children too
But your armor will not fit me
Although fine it's suitin' you

[Bridge]
Suitin' you, suitin' you
Suitin' you, suitin' you

[Verse 3]
Turn your blessings into weapons
And hold them before your chest
To you and all your comrades
I only wish the best

We may not meet again
For we are treading separate trails
But I'll cast off and think of you
On seas or roads or rails

From chapels to the armies
Magician to the 'nave
You either blaze your own trail
Or you're diggin' your own grave

[Refrain]
I wish good to your children
And their own children too
But your armor will not fit me
Although fine it's suitin' you

[Bridge]
Said your armor will not fit me
Your armor will not fit me
Although fine it's suitin' you

Your armor will not fit me
Your armor will not fit me
Although fine it's suitin' you

[Chorus]
So fare well, good fellows
Fare well, good fellows
Your ways are not for me

Fare well, good fellows
Fare well, good fellows
Your ways are not for me
Not for me
