Your calves get weak as you tiptoe through all the rising sludge
The mayor sold out the city and bought the presiding judge
Now that these pigs have taken charge we're in for quite a muddy ride so hold on to your decency
Well it's a faint and moving bar but you know what you should abide by hold on to your decency
You've moved beyond the consuming awe of what has rotted out
You're gentleness won't erode away because you have thought it out
Now even dogs with chewed off limbs cheer on the dog who eats their own but hold on to your decency
We need you now so hear our hymn when you feel duped, your fashion old just hold on to your decency
Sure we are beasts who hump and bite but choose the beast you want to be and hold on to your decency
There is a darkness, there's a light, and endless shades of in-between but hold on to your decency
