They take each other prisoners, digging secret tunnels
And we support that
An angry cousin1 swallows screws, cousins2 wreck flies
And we support that
They dream of a Christmas in an enormous swimming pool
And we support that
Love parties, hate tomorrow, that's just how it is
And we support that
'Cause they're our T-R-O-O-P-E-R-S (T-R-O-O-P-E-R-S)
Did all kings go forth on a line in their power and mightiness?
they didn't manage to put the smallest leaf on a nettle
What do I say, my words — Backstop?
But I know that I'll always support my troopers
There's space enough, but everything's going down on these stairs
(Milked the blue cow)
I'm dumb enough to believe it can be in this folder
(Walking in to small shoes)3
Please, hand me a sign, some light, and a saw
(And we'll stop)
'Cause then I'll build a farm, then a cross, then a grave
(Put on your best clothes)
Well, for our T-R-O-O-P-E-R-S (T-R-O-O-P-E-R-S)
Did all kings go forth on a line in their power and mightiness?
they didn't manage to put the smallest leaf on a nettle
What do I say, my words — Backstop?
But I know that I'll always support my troopers
We're right here
For our T-R-O-O-P-E-R-S (T-R-O-O-P-E-R-S)
The small soldiers
Did all kings go forth on a line in their power and mightiness?
they didn't manage to put the smallest leaf on a nettle
What do I say, my words — Backstop?
But I know that I'll always support my troopers
Support our troopers
Support our troopers
