R.E.M.: "Disturbance At The Heron House" Lyrics

(Berry/Buck/Mills/Stipe)

"They're going wild," the call came in

At early morning pre-dawn, then

"The followers of chaos out of control

They're numbering the monkeys

The monkeys and the monkeys,"

The followers of chaos out of control

(chorus)

The call came in to Party Central

"Meeting of the green and simple,"

Try to tell us something we don't know

"They're meeting at the monument,"

The call came in the monument

To liberty and honor under the honor roll

"They've gathered up the cages the cages and courageous,"

The followers of chaos out of control

(repeat chorus)

"Disturbance at the Heron House"

A stampede at the monument

To liberty and honor under the honor roll

The gathering of grunts and greens

Cogs and grunts and hirelings

A meeting of a mean idea to hold

"When feeding time has come and gone

They'll lose the heart and head for home

Try to tell us something we don't know"

We don't know

Everyone allowed, everyone allowed

Everyone allowed
