Ascent but to what extent
Increment by increment
It has left me feeling spent
Increment by increment
Tended and tilled every field
Increment by increment
Yet we only scantly yield
Increment by increment
We bare far too few
Our futures escape from view
Better tend to your own soil
Never mind; don't mind the worms
Don't heed warnings nothing's spoiled
Never mind; don't mind the worms
Mind your own full speed ahead
Never mind; don't mind the worms
In the end we're only dead
Never mind; don't mind the worms
We bare far too few
Our futures escape from view
Bend, bend, bend
Insist that we bend, bend, bend
Bend, bend, bend
Elasticity will tear us to shreds
Bend, bend, bend
Insist that we bend, bend, bend
Bend, bend, bend
Elasticity will tear us to shreds
