lyrics

lonely lad, a-lion in wait for an easy meal
grab a bite and cop a feel
"haven't you heard, hon, that's the deal
since we've been kings"
of course you had to turn him down
when he'd persist, call him a clown
he'd chased you half across the town
when you drew blood
(the wound still stings)

porcupine stand firm in your coat of needles
it’s needless persecution you defy
oh porcupine, this discord penetrates my mind
it’s but small hope for tomorrow I descry

broken bodies in the dirt, lives seeping away
in response we’re asked to pray
while concerned experts contend to say
whence evil springs
“of course you must have seen the scars
such suffering surely conscience mars”
but to me that explanation jars
misplacing blame
more sorrow brings

porcupine stand firm in your coat of needles
it’s needless persecution you defy
oh porcupine, this discord penetrates my mind
you are what small hope for tomorrow I descry
