Dirty Projectors – Overlord Lyrics

Oh, fear is old
Please don’t yell at the changes
Get aboard
Oh, we go forth
Those stay behind will be left on the shore
Who could afford
Not to be a part of what we’re pushing toward?

Over-over-over-overlord
Over-over-over-overlord

Oh, overlord
Please don’t be magnanimous
Protect your neck
Oh, overlord
Marshal my desires to your call and beck
Oh, it’s assured
Good outweighs bad as we approach perfection

Over-over-over-overlord
Over-over-over-overlord

How can you try to help me?
How can you try not to help me?
Help me (help me), help me (help me), help me (help me), help me (help me)

Oh, overlord
Take the ones below me and I’ll hold the sword
Oh, overlord
Who could serve a master who sits over lord?

Over-over-over-overlord
Over-over-over-overlord
Over-over-over-overlord
Over-over-over-overlord
