Come all ye-/
warbrain psychics/
with asteriod sidekicks/
prostate agents/
and plastic Cajans//
royal doggerelles/
cluster bombsellers/
alternative surgeons/
torturesport virgins//
heavy vivisectionists/
columnists, Golumnists/
priests of the beast/
who are sectretly policed/
by highranking bankers/
playing pranks with tankers//
ghost advisers/
death advertisers/
vampire preachers/
sucked-dry teachers/
beheaded dead bodies/
of blank-hearted squaddies//
billionaire beauticians/
fishing for positions/
with oblitation missions -/
I'm alone, I'm afraid/
And I need your aid/
can't you see - can't you see - can't you see?//
I was run over by the truth one day/
Ever since the accident I've walked this way/
So stick my legs in plaster/
Tell me lies about Vietnam//
Heard the alarm clock screaming with pain/
Coundn't find myself, so I went back to sleep again/
So fill my ears with silver/
So stick my legs in plaster /
Tell me lies about Vietnam//
Ever time I shut my eyes, all I see is flames/
I made a marble phone-book, and I carved all the names/
So coat my eyes with butter/
So fill my ears with silver/
So stick my legs in plaster /
Tell me lies about Vietnam//
I smell something burning, hope it's just my brains/
They're only dropping peppermints and daisy-chains/
So stuff my nose with garlic/
So coat my eyes with butter/
So fill my ears with silver/
So stick my legs in plaster /
Tell me lies about Vietnam//
Where were you at the time of the crime?/
Down by the Cenotaph, drinking slime/
So stuff my nose with garlic/
So coat my eyes with butter/
So fill my ears with silver/
So stick my legs in plaster /
Tell me lies about Vietnam//
You put your bombers in, you put your bombers out/
You take the human being, and you twist it all about/
So scrub my skin with women/
So chain my tongue with whisky/
So stuff my nose with garlic/
So coat my eyes with butter
So fill my ears with silver/
So stick my legs in plaster /
Tell me lies about -/
Iraq/
Burma/
Afghanistan/
BAE Systems/
Israel/
Iran//
Tell me lies Mr Bush/
Tell me lies Mr Blairbrowncameron//
Tell me lies about Vietnam//
