Take No Kissingers |
| The writer wrote\nThe singer sung\nAnd they went broke\nTurned down by everyone\nPassed on by asylum\nMet by BMG\nRCA and MCA\nAnd finally the big three\nAnd the writer said, «I wish you’d hire me»\nBut you don’t like hearing the truth\nIt’s all I got left, along with my debts\nAnd lack of youth"\nShe said, «Take no chances» (Take no)\n«Just tell lies» (Tell no)\n«Sell your soul in compromise»\n«Take no chances» (Take no)\n«Just tell lies\nDon’t ask me why»\nNews spoke\nThe people gasped\nThe senate broke\nWhile he was sittin' on his big fat ass\nPromises of heaven\nPromises of hell\nGuess this God’s the only God\nThat you can buy and sell\nHe said, «Richard Nixon’s a hero\nAnd you’re just a communist stooge\nSo for the rest of your days, when you call out his name\nHe’ll be Mr. Dick to you»\nHe said, «Take no kissingers» (Take no prisoners)\n«Take their wives» (Tell no lies)\n«And while you’re at, please take mine»\n«Take no kissingers» (Take no prisoners)\n«Just take mine»\nShit, here’s the missing line\nThere’s no bass!\nWhere’s the bass?\nThere’s no bass!\nThat’s me!\nAnd Simon said, «Why don’t you touch me?\nReach out your hand just like this\nYou capture my soul, you can grab hold\nAnd aim it while I piss!»\nHe said, «You're my prisoner!» (Take no)\n«Tell me lies!» (Tell no)\n«Try this tutu on for size!»\n«You're my prisoner!» (Take no prisoners)\n«Tell me lies\nDon’t ask me why»\nDon’t ask me why\nHey, I’m English |
