our choices leave us little room to spare
as day and night in sequence go by fast
no decent case of dignity to wear
and vision that suggests more cause to fear
in the cold present than in the dim past
our choices leave us little room to spare
for reprehension at the sullen year
that it has been the truth is all miscast
no decent case of dignity to wear
we're all frustrated all thrown in despair
all fearful we will hear the final blast
our choices leave us little room to spare
for any of the goods that we should bear
since our great goal will never be surpassed
no decent case of dignity to wear
when we confront the enemy or dare
the final gate that victory's the last
our choices leave us little room to spare
no decent case of dignity to wear

since our great goal will never be surpassed
no decent case of dignity to wear
when we confront the enemy or dare
the final gate that victory's the last
our choices leave us little room to spare
no decent case of dignity to wear
