Dark Politics |
Dark politics leads to the best drag |
If you’re sad about the mess we’re in |
For all the negatives about the Reichstag |
Look what it did for East Berlin |
Authoritarians beget subversion |
Remember this when you get bummed out |
So give your pretty painted eyes up to a virgin |
As the fire rubs another one out on you |
Ooh yeah! |
When night just fell we’ve been here before |
We can’t find the keys to turn off the war |
But the optimist in me is never sad |
The glass is half full but the water tastes bad |
'Cause the big lie has already spread |
And nobody cares how many books you’ve read |
So just enjoy yourself and make some art |
Then set it on fire and rip it apart |
Smile! |
Smile! |
It will be dark here for a good long while |
And ooh there will be times when you want to die |
Smile! |
Smile! |
And even though you may be oozing bile |
And ooh it’s neutralised by the salty tears you cry |
When Baron Von Shnitzel turned the last oven off |
He left the lights on for Baron von Stroganoff |
Who hopped the next junket down to Argentina |
He had a baby boy who became a ballerina |
She had enough one day and she joined the circus |
She came to America, was forced to twerk |
She had enough again and after some persistence |
She switched teams and she joined the resistance |
She danced for the emperor, danced for the king |
Danced for the president, it’s all the same thing |
And when she got close enough to be on his arm |
She became love in the form of a bomb BOOOM |
Hey! |
Woo! |
Smile! |
Smile! |
It will be dark here for a good long while |
And ooh there will be times when you want to die |
Smile! |
Smile! |
Even though you may be oozing bile |
And ooh it’s neutralized by the salty tears you cry |
The apocalypse will be televised |
The revolution will be tossed aside |
So pledge your allegiance to fat white guys |
While the snowflakes run and hide |
The streets are all filled with fire |
As the soldiers come marching in |
So just mind the fences and the barbed wire |
And make nice with the side that wins |
And oooooh! |
Oooh! |
Dark politics walks the long plank |
We’ll go further than Tiananmen Square |
For every Chinaman who stares down a big tank |
There’s a billion who just don’t care |
Now the hangman rings the broken bell |
And the reaper he leads the dance |
And the world spins around like a carousel |
Never plays the musical chairs |
Smile! |
Smile! |
It will be dark here for a good long while |
And ooh there will be times that you want to die |
Smile! |
Smile! |
And even though you may be oozing bile |
And ooh it’s neutralized by the salty tears you cry |
Yeah! |
