The Poisoners |
We corrupted Swiss chocolate |
We laced it with strychnine |
And said we’d only stop it |
For a cool six million |
We corrupted Swiss chocolate |
And moved to the Philippines |
We’ve come to know exactly |
What being fabulously wealthy means |
(It's beautiful) |
And the times I feel guilty |
For the children who died |
I press my ear to Jenny’s belly |
And hear our child inside |
A boy or a girl? |
A victor or victim? |
New life made possible by strychnine |
Born into a world of cyanide |
They call us the poisoners |
But we knew |
Being decent and humane |
Folk without a brain |
Sneezing in the rain |
Would never do |
We’d rather be poisoners |
Than prisoners like you |
They call us the poisoners |
We got rich quick |
But the world got sick |
Before we slipped the strychnine in the bar |
We’d rather be poisoners than losers |
Like you are |
We moved to Manila |
We golf on the golf green |
With all the other killers |
Who know exactly what it’s like to win |
(It's wonderful) |
