Empire Of The Senseless |
| No one’s making any noise now, sshhh |
| We’ve been waiting for so long |
| They took away our films and tapes and notebooks |
| But it’s ok 'cos we’ve self-censored this song |
| But these lines are all individuals |
| And there’s no such thing as a song |
| And even the silent are now guilty in the empire of the senseless |
| What’s your line of questioning, sir? |
| Empire of the senseless |
| I can’t interrupt (intercept) a one word sentence |
| Invent a war in secrecy |
| Sliding scenery like a vintage toy |
| Isn’t plastic surgery wonderful? |
| Satellite secret national security |
| Empire of the senseless |
| Turning journalists into heroes takes some doing |
| Empire of the senseless |
| Boring Ollie North down in the subway dealing drugs and guns |
| Empire of the senseless |
| Turning little liars into heroes, it’s what they’ve always done |
| Empire of the senseless |
| This song promotes homosexuality |
| It’s in a pretended family relationship with the others on this record |
| And on the charts and on the jukebox |
| And in the radio |
| And in the radio |
| No one’s making any noise now, sshhh |
| Stay quiet |
| All unacceptable gropings have been removed from the screen |
| Only eyes full of unspeakable thoughts remain |
| And even the silent are now guilty in the empire of the senseless |
| Baked beans, sugar, and margarine |
| Empire of the senseless |
| Bread, jam, groceries, and lard |
| For the unsentimental |
| The men who like the lady hard |
| The men who like the hard lady |
| «And you know that people are really rather afraid |
| Empire of the senseless |
| Afraid of being swamped» |
| Afraid of being swamped by selfishness and greed |
