And their braying for revolution Bop bop bop bop bop Has me praying for evolution Bop bop bop bop bop Talking heads provide the lies, Marching orders, battle cries Just more despots in disguise, brother And their braying for revolution Bop bop bop bop bop Has me praying for evolution Bop bop bop bop bop Mr. Jones has hit the street One more pair of marching feet Scrawling signs and packing heat, mother And their braying for revolution Bop bop bop bop bop Has me praying for evolution Bop bop bop bop bop Though the present danger’s clear We don’t have a thing to fear They say it can’t happen here, lover And their braying for revolution Bop bop bop bop bop Has me praying for evolution Bop bop bop bop bop

Hope you’re happy in your dreamland Melted peppermint ice cream land Hope you’re happy in your dreamland Like I am in my land Hope you’re happy in your dreamland Disappearing in the steam land Hope you’re happy in your dreamland Like I am in my land Really wish I had the words To describe what just occurred Can’t remember but a third of it I was in another place I had on a different face Can’t remember but a trace of it Hope you’re happy in your dreamland Variations on a theme land Hope you’re happy in your dreamland Like I am in my land

I’ve got something to impart to you I’ve got nothing in my heart for you And I will never see your face again Never know this place again Never in this life I’ve got something to reveal to you I’ve got nothing left to feel for you And I will never call your name again Never know this shame again Never in this life I’ve got something to explain to you I’ve got nothing left to gain from you And I will never really care again Never know you’re there again Never in this life

she'll kill your Buddha cool and your Kerouac she came from nowhere, but she's never going back her art will leave a bruise, her napalm poems burn the suburbs of Bohemia are too afraid to learn she doesn't need a man in black to tell her she's absolved she lives as if the world has already evolved trip inside this house, watch the walls dissolve live as if the world has already evolved love as if the world has already evolved she's happy and she's broke, not miserable and poor in a month of Monday mornings she's a Friday night and score she's a goddess most immodest and she never needs to primp she's a hellion in rebellion, she's the imp they cannot pimp she doesn't need a man in black to tell her she's absolved she lives as if the world has already evolved trip inside this house, watch the walls dissolve live as if the world has already evolved love as if the world has already evolved necromancer cosmic dancer hate is cancer love is the answer an erotic kamikaze on pearl diving day with estrogen as compass and a bag that's packed to stay she's come to liberate us from banks and tanks and pants she'll start the revolution once the world learns to dance she doesn't need a man in black to tell her she's absolved she lives as if the world has already evolved trip inside this house, watch the walls dissolve live as if the world has already evolved love as if the world has already evolved

I've made it clear that I am not here I just stick it out 'cos it's easier than trying I cannot cope with so little hope I just stick around 'cos it's easier than dying I've made it clear that I am not here anymore I've made my case for running in place history repeats 'cos it's easier than learning I have been told that I'm growing cold I may freeze to death 'cos it's easier than burning I've made it clear that I am not here anymore I've made it plain that I am insane I just keep it hid so I need not admit it I've had to know how far I can go I just wear a mask so I won't get committed I've made it clear that I am not here anymore

Satisfied rainbows, they watch over me Telling me everything’s as it should be Catching the light and then making it spin Telling me everything’s as it’s always been Satisfied rainbows, they hover above Offering friendship and offering love I forget sadness and I forget hate I forget breathing and slowly suffocate Satisfied rainbows, they neuter my soul Lick at my skin and then swallow me whole Give me a god in which I can believe Satisfied rainbows, I hope they never leave

You mess with one of us... You mess with all of us!
