Privately
Unveiling Hidden Narratives: Guided by Voices' Private Revelations
Lyrics
In the midst of this effort
In the process of this endeavor
Courageous tongues are bitter
Brave voices are resentful
Don't blast them
Do not criticize them
Bring posters and broadcast
Bring signs and share widely
Not a public display
Not for public exhibition
But a new secret
But rather a new secret
Come there to pretend
Come there to feign or pretend
Bring your children
Bring your offspring
Allow them to watch to the end
Permit them to observe until the conclusion
Before most of us knew it
Prior to most of us being aware
Contagious words have bitten
Infectious expressions have stung
Don't use them
Do not employ them
Don't post them for broadcast
Do not share them for wide dissemination
Keep then private and away
Keep them confidential and distant
Like an old weapon
Similar to an ancient weapon
Come here on command
Arrive here upon request or order
Like good children
Like obedient offspring
Allow us to watch 'til to the end
Allow us to observe until the conclusion
Cigarette lifter
One who takes cigarettes without permission
The frozen violins
The motionless violins
Solid movement
Firm or steady movement
Privately
Confidentially
