[Verse 1] The women came to sort me With their oat milk and their facts In their tidy little certainty And their union tote bag acts But the saviours They don't hear me Just the bits they can explain They love my working honesty Till I don't vote the same [Chorus] Here comes the cavalry Speaking slow to me In their well-read certainty They know what's best for me [Verse 2] They said, A little empathy Would help us all get by From kitchens where the world is clean And rent comes in on time They called my accent grounded once Like struggle makes you pure But the second I dissent at all I'm something to endure [Chorus] Here comes the cavalry Speaking slow to me In their well-read certainty They know what's best for me [Bridge] They'll print me in a paper Beside a line about our pain A person they can gesture at To validate their frame Then they'll laugh across the table At the people back at home The ones too rough to sit with them But useful at the polls [Final Chorus] Here comes the cavalry Speaking slow to me In their well-read certainty They know what's best for me Here comes the cavalry Speaking slow to me In their well-read certainty They know what's best for me [Outro] Here comes the cavalry Here comes the cavalry They think they know What's best for me
