So much confusion When autumn comes around
What to do about October How to smile
behind a frown? It's hard to settle down
It's hard to settle down It's so bemusing
Will they cancel the parade?
We marched each October Now they say
we were never even saved We must be very brave
Shall I rewrite or revise My October symphony?
Or as an indication Change the dedication
From revolution to revelation?
So we're all drinking As leaves fall
to the ground Because we've been thinking
How October's let us down Then and now
Shall we remember December instead?
Or worry about February? Mourn our war-torn
dead Never seeing red? Shall I rewrite
or revise My October symphony?
Or as an indication Change the dedication
From revolution to revelation?
