Soft Power |
Yeah hold your fire man don’t shoot |
Here come the Oompa Loompa with the nukes |
Riding his fly blown drone, like there ain’t no one home |
With no particular cause except what’s here now is his |
Comin' like a T-rex with all the confederates |
Lined us all up like the alphabet |
Refresh my memory again, I can’t remember anymore |
The plan’s we’re either going to Mars or war |
I heard a lot of promises |
(Promises, promises…) |
Ahhh no no no no |
This ain’t the way it has to go |
I heard how the deserters made the bush their home |
With coffee coloured skin, naked, green eyed |
Prone to flight, fight, stay hid |
They’d pick the fights they win |
Saying fuck soft power |
No one’s comin' in |
And no one’s gonna lie to me |
(Lie to me, lie to me…) |
Ahhh no no no no |
This ain’t the way it has to go |
Now there’s the siege of the survivors in a pock marked bank |
Pizza boys and postmen charging at its flanks |
A junior exec under a walnut desk |
Calls the local news to tell the world whats comin' next |
«they're takin pot shots 'cross the lawn with the curtains drawn |
But its like shooting at the Chinese Wall» |
SOFT POWER |
(soft power, soft power…) |
Oh no no no no fuck |
They got surrounded by the hot stuffed crust |
While the billboard jolly roger drove 'em beige with rage |
To glory hole shaped graves in their shopping carts |
And now they’re all in heaven with their BeeGees Christ |
Their souls are set free yet somebody’s already buying ‘em |
Look up there! |
…it's a multiplex hex of Tom Cruise |
At the end of a rainbow all our eyeballs roll through |
He’s picked up the option, he’s gonna film the failed coup |
Right after he makes Top Gun 2 |
SOFT POWER!!! |
soft pedalled |
Everything was going so swell |
But now we need to play our weak hand well |
(Soft power, soft power…) |
Bye bye Scarecrow, hello old world |
I’m moving back into your shitty dump |
It leaks every time it rains |
And I’m in here wracking my brains |
And I’m drinking vodka from a dirty coffee cup |
I always thought I knew |
Once I shot through |
That I’d be sure of what I was giving up |
And the feeling of relief I’d get |
From getting up to leave was never meant to be |
Coz now you’ve gone and fucked everything up |
And to hear me talk you’d guess I’d be the first to walk |
And that I never dreamt that I’d be missing you so much |
Everyone here gets the joke |
Everybody except you |
It must be lonely at the top |
So let me lighten up your mood |
The down side is we’re all about to get royally fucked |
And the upside is we’re all about to get screwed |
But in spite of it all we’ll miss you more than you miss us |
And I’m gonna miss you so much |
So much |
Bye bye Richie, Chachi, Fonzie, Ralphy, and Joanie Cunningham… |
But when you go I’m gonna miss you most Scarecrow |
Scarecrow I’m gonna miss you most |
When you go I’m gonna miss you most Scarecrow |
Scarecrow I’m gonna miss you most |
When you go I’m gonna miss you most Scarecrow |
Scarecrow I’m gonna miss you most |
