Ballad of J.J. Decay |
Well gather around you boys now and listen to the man |
He says we’ve fought evaded but united we will stand |
We’ll sacrifice the older ones living in the past |
We’ll burn up their religions and we’ll all be free at last |
We’ll put a hat upon his head and then we’ll call him God |
And then we’ll share our health in him like peas do in a pod |
This is the story of a man with his future in his head |
But no-one ever listens to him when he’s dead |
We’re all getting older |
The light is on and bolder |
We’re all getting older |
We’ll follow him throughout the land obeying his command |
We’ll dance a sort of hatred that we think we understand |
The children came a-running from their houses of decay |
And laid the trust upon a fool who found a better way |
He preach the words of wisdom with his hands and with his mouth |
Then everyone believed him and then he believed himself |
This is the story of a man with his future in his head |
But no-one ever listens to him when he’s dead |
We’re all getting older |
The light is on and bolder |
We’re all getting older |
Decay |
(Spoken voice in background of Neville Chamberlain) |
«This morning I had another talk with the German |
Chancellor Herr Hitler |
Here is the paper which bears his name upon it |
As well as mine. |
We regard the agreement signed |
Last night as symbolic of the desire of our two |
Peoples never to go to war with one another again.») |
We’re all getting older |
The light is on and bolder |
We’re all getting older |
Decay |
The year had come and gone and everyone began to see |
Why did we follow such a fool in such a mindless way? |
Let’s turn our hatred to this man — we know he’s just a fraud |
We crucify him with the rest and find another God |
How many times have you heard someone’s coming here to say |
That from your hell on earth that you will love until your grave |
This is the story of a man with nothing in his head |
And no-one's going to listen to you when you’re dead |
We’re all getting older |
The light is on and bolder |
We’re all getting older |
We’re all getting older |
We’re all getting older |
We’re all getting older |
We’re all getting older |
We’re all getting older |
We’re all getting older |
