lyrics

BIG JOHN

Big John’s living in the Big Apple
Raising cows
Keith’s at the clinic
He’s gotta keep clean, oh so clean
Sidney couldn’t cope
He always had too much rope

Now we all know
We all know now
Self-destruction’s not very easy
Self-destruction’s not very easy


HANOI ANNOYS ME

Hanoi annoys me
I’m not keen on Rome
New York burns me
I’d rather be at home
What about Palestine,
And what about Israel

Hanoi annoys me

What about the Catholics,
The Commies and the Jews
What about the fascists
The Muslins and Hindus
What about the Irish,
The Poles and the blacks
What about the Russians
The Aussies and the Japs

Listen to this

Tell it to the army ‘cos I just don’t want to know
Tell it to the navy ‘cos I just don’t want to know
Tell it to the fly boys ‘cos I just don’t want to know
Tell it to the junta ‘cos I just don’t want to know
Tell it to the generals ‘cos I just don’t want to know
Tell it to the army ‘cos I just don’t want to know
Oh no
Tell it to the people ‘cos I just don’t want to know
And tell it to the army ‘cos I just don’t want to know
No, no.


THE INNOCENT

We are innocent, it is not our fault
If we don’t stop moving we won’t ever come to a halt
We are innocent, we are not to blame
If things don’t change they’ll stay the same

We are innocent puppets of the state
If we don’t change it soon it’s going to be too late
Too late to be innocent, often we will find
The things we do with our dirty bodies
Are the things we do with our dirty minds

A different sameness
Is your only defence
Why do you look for
Why do you look for
Why do you look for
A similar difference
Be yourself.
