Matthew K. Davis - Borodino

Well you were strutting around, with your hand on your breast
Gloating about your ten lovers
I was so enthusiastically underwhelmed
In regards to the defeat he would suffer

You said this was the one in which you'd crush them all
I said "oh daring, are you sure"
You've won battle after battle, but that doesn't mean
That you've necessarily won the war

You inspected your troops as you prepared to embark
On what you thought would be your lover's last stand
It became painfully clear that you hadn't a thought
To come up with a backup plan

Against the wishes of the ones who advised you
You rolled up to Borodino alone
I don't think anyone's surprised of the outcome
But feel free to tell us when you run home

At Borodino you'd learn
Not to say things you don't mean
At Borodino you'd learn
To come clean

After the battle, with tears in your eyes
You told a story of which I was aware
I was so enthusiastically underwhelmed
Save it for someone who cares
