Living Dead Blues

anonyme

Text anonymous (≤1981). Tune : « ? ».

Sell some pot, some smack, why not ?
They’re selling uranium too
They’ve got guns belted to their side
To make it tough on me and you.
A kick in the head
Some teargas instead,
Ah ! they’re rotten through and through.
Men in blue will kill you too,
If the boredom doesn’t burst.
They’re in control,
We’re on the dole
Ah ! this mess is getting worse.
 
Woke up this morning
Leave my bed
Join the queue with the living dead
Sick and tired of living in this filthy dirty muck
Ah ! They don’t give a fuck !
Tearing up the earth for money and greed,
If we don’t fight now they’re going to succeed.
 
They’ll kill ten thousand people,
If it means a lousy buck
Ah ! They don’t give a fuck !
’Cos they’re rotten through and through
Yes rotten through and through.
