Swing For The Crime |
| I’m the one-eyed midget with the curse |
| The simpleton who sweetly smiles at his young lover now beguiled |
| The sycophantic morons lied at Romeo who is the bride, let’s ride |
| Stoned as I walk down the hall |
| The adman waits to hear the curse and call |
| The angels scream in discontent as to the river they are led |
| The actors bow and pay the rent, we cover them in cold cement |
| Let’s swing for the crime everyone in double time |
| And we hope that you had a good time |
| Yeah smile as you sign on the line |
| Because life on your knees can be fun |
| Surprised now you’re not the only one |
| Led like a lamb into this gloom |
| Yeah Freud is in the back room with his goons |
| Now they’ve got new experiments, the metal groans, the limbs are rent |
| The anti-heros' mock dissent, we market now by mass consent |
| We swing for the crime everyone in double time |
| Scream like you’ll burst if they cry |
| Is changed by the words that you learn |
| But Jack the Ripper is inside |
| And Moriarty has imbibed |
| They live, they marry, all the while |
| We laugh and have them circumcised |
| They swing for the crime everyone in double time |
| And we hope that you had a good time |
| Yeah smile as you sign on the line |
| Because life on your knees can be fun |
| Are you glad that you’re not the only one? |
