All Lined Up - Shriekback

Tired of all this crawling around

Realising the joke was on us

Reaching out to the obvious

Starting with an answer not a question

Our most acceptable businesses

All aligned in just one direction

Organised on the same lines

With one face — one side

We got all lined up

We got all lined up

We got all lined up

All lined up

All lined up

Back at the all night party

We’re getting clearer all the time

Refined to one shape — frozen like crystal

It has the symmetry of perfect design

One line leads to another

They cross at the corners run straight at the sides

It reads the same way in any direction

Two red circles and a thick black spine

We got all lined up

We got all lined up

We got all lined up

All lined up

All lined up

Let it fall into place we could tie it to a tree

We could point it at you we could make it a habit

We could leave it outside or we could give it our food

Understand it or we could ignore it

Holding all our past in the one hand

We showed those people in a way they understand

Shiny little eyes on a big red bus

The ones we point at work for us

One sharp point between distinction

Going this way for X amount of time

Frame — line — and convergence

From the first to the final

This intention is mine

We got all lined up

We got all lined up

We got all lined up

All lined up

All lined up

(repeat chorus)
