Monsters and Men
[GENERAL MCNAMARA]
Sometimes you gotta wake
And answer the call
Or fall
No need to raise the stakes
When you're on the wall
Stand tall

Sometimes you gotta fill your jets
Sometimes you gotta slow your breath
Sometimes you gotta step into the Black and White
And face the thing you dread

Sometimes you gotta stand on up
Sometimes you gotta make your case
Sometimes you gotta step into the Black and White
And needle that thread

'Cause there are monsters and there are men
There are monsters that live in your head
There are monsters that we all should dread
So join the fight
And try your might
Step in the Black and White

There are forces in this world
That mean you real harm
If your soul is unarmed
It is nothing on your phone
We need every hand
For a scrum that's undermanned
The truly good
Versus the truly bad
You'd better learn to discern it quickly, boys
It's the only chance we have
You'd better align your soul
With what's good and right
Join the only fight that's left
And scour the Black and White

For there are monsters and there are men
There are monsters that live in your head
It is the monsters who should live in dread
And fear our might
Join the fight
Into the Black and White

[PRESIDENT GOODMAN (spoken)]
So, we're not exactly dealing with terrorists here

[MCNAMARA (spoken)]
Not exactly

[GOODMAN (spoken)]
What do you want from me?

[MCNAMARA]
Look me in the eye now, sir
And make a solemn vow
To become your best self now
I know our opponent, sir
Requires nothing less
Than your absolute best
[SECRETARY OF DEFENCE]
I know it's hard

[VICE PRESIDENT]
The world is pain and distraction

[SECRETARY OF STATE]
But there's occasions met
By lesser men
Who took the lead

[MCNAMARA]
It must be you

[GOODMAN]
It must be me

[MCNAMARA]
Never take your office lightly

[GOODMAN]
I'll never take my office lightly

[MCNAMARA]
You must fill your heart
Make good with God immediately
[GOODMAN]
There are monsters and there are men
There are monsters that live in your head

[ALL]
It is the monsters who shall live in dread

[MCNAMARA]
So, join the fight

[GOODMAN]
Against the real plight

[ALL]
When monsters are real
You'd better forge a heart of steel
To cast the darkness from light

[MCNAMARA]
You've gotta step into the Black and White
