lyrics

We Saw a Solid Idol Die

A scolder scowled, cowed a coward.
A coarse crowd crowed, “Weirdo!”
Wailers wailed as rowdies riled.
A wise old crow cawed,
“A clear case. Laws are laws.
Wilde adores lads!”

Ideals are sacred.

O, do we care? I swear, screw wise old crows!

A dire world swirled as a sad, scared soldier was soiled.

Weldor, weld a sword!
Decrial is war! Words derail!
A wild scrawl read,
“O woe! I slide so low, I ail.
A deal so raw I'd wield a sword,
I'd sail o'er sea, I'd ride a slow sidecar. O woe!”

Oscar crawled as Oreads swore,
as ladies cried, as law lords lied,
as a loser Isle resold dear Oscar Wilde.

We saw a solid idol die.
