lyrics

Emotional Fascism

Fear can give me such a thrill
In bloody fields or made up beds
Which one of us will do the other one's will?
Who will obey with our hands on our heads?
Armed forces heading for glory
Weaponry set their sights on the target
Blood and gore sure makes a good story
But who is gonna clean the carpet?

An orange beaten to a pulp
You're still alive, I see
Submit, surrender and quit
Abyssinian invasion of privacy
A sour grape bent out of shape
I'm still conscious, you know
I practice at your alter, we falter
With our sponges, too low in the ocean

Breakfast in bed with glass in my rolls
Picking my poison, attractions and all
My insides are arrowpads covered with holes
You lower your voice and I'm raising my pall
I know I'm just gonna get hurt
I know I'll only let you down
And you shine all the buttons on your green shirt
But both of us know that it's brown

Just when is the menace
Going to end?
Is a friend of me enemy
Really a friend?
Just a lonely woman
Let his militia come in
He had to date her, the great dictator
She was a spinster until he convinced her
His lingua-Franco was Greek, he was alpha not beta
