Um & Aargh

You couldn’t run, you couldn’t hide
They had their spies out on your track
You had some fun, you took a ride
You tried to fit into the pack
But all the time they knew you lied
They knew that you’d be bound to crack
Hospital Carolina
You dreamed of stars, of open cars
And surfing out on Malibu
You drank in bars and Miromars
You shot the dice and skimmed the pool
You thought of saving your integrity
Before it came up for renewal
Hospital Carolina
So who needs Rudolf Steiner?
Let me hear you now!
«Um and aargh, um and aargh, um», was all he told me
I’m catching beriberi and I’m feeling so low
«This is much too good for the people» he said
I said «don't people have minds of their own?»
And it’s better that you agree
In this best of best industries
I was in the midst of a dream
I felt like shouting something obscene
A man appeared, he had a beard
He had a dog right at his feet
I said, «My song?», he said «It's long
It’s got no balls», I said «That's neat
But it took me thirty years to write»
He said, «Your image is incomplete»
Hospital Carolina
The curtain’s up, the spotlight’s on
They’ve got you spitting at the crowd
A needle match, a little scratch
And you’re above the busy cloud
Going out and getting in a fight, it makes the news, so you’ll be proud
Hospital Carolina
So who needs Rudolf Steiner?
Let me hear you now!
«Um and aargh, um and aargh, um», was all he told me
I’m catching beriberi and I’m feeling so low
«This is much too good for the people» he said
I said «don't people have minds of their own?»
And it’s better that you agree
In this best of best industries
I was in the midst of a dream
I felt like shouting something obscene
They’ve washed you up, they’ve squashed you up
You find your brain is going bad
You played the game, it’s all the same
The wisest fools are really mad
You take a gun, to save our son
And, God, his brain is bullet-proof
And so it’s welcome to the ministry of everlasting truth
Hospital Carolina
So who needs Rudolf Steiner?
Let me hear you now!
«Um and aargh, um and aargh, um», was all he told me
I’m catching beriberi and I’m feeling so low
«This is much too good for the people» he said
I said «don't people have minds of their own?»
Shooting to the top, be a great tin god
Then plummet to obscurity well
And it’s better that you agree
In this best of best industries
And it’s better that you agree
In this best of best industries
And it’s better not to presume
Or it’s you that we will consume
And it’s better that you agree
In this best of best industries
And it’s better not to presume
Or it’s you that we will consume
And it’s better that you agree
In this best of best industries
