| THE Swell WALL Dandy Wall of China / Information technology's and then big it's seen from outer space / Put there to keep starving neighbors / Locked outside the gates / What's changed today? / Empires hoard more then they need / And peasants threaten our comfort / We'll build a Great Wall around our ability / Build a Great Wall around our power / Bankrupt 50.A.'s streetcar line / And then people pay more than to drive / Institute strategic freeways / To divide neighborhoods past color lines / We'd rather pay for riot squads / Than pump your ghetto dorsum to life / Nosotros let your schools decay on purpose / To build a Great Wall around our ability / Some other Great Wall around our power / Warlords in greyness suits / Take a dissimilar road to work each day / Second-hand green berets / Form the companies' private armies. / We'll take all your gilt / But won't teach reading or feed your poor / The League of Gentlemen / Would rather feed guns to puppet dictators / There's too many people in your world / And Refugees are expensive / When they trickle down onto our soil / Nosotros hunt them and arrest them / Classify them insane / And put them back on the next plane / To the waiting arms / Of the same death squads they fled / We've built a Dandy Wall around our power / Economic Swell Wall effectually our ability / Worldwide Great Wall around our ability / Give us your poor, / Your tired and your weak / Nosotros'll send 'em right back / To their sure death |

| TRIUMPH OF THE SWILL Life can simply go better / All you need to do is fall in honey / Anybody else has fun but you lot / Purchase that fun y'all'll fit in too / Trip the light fantastic toe your issues away / Inexpensive escape to that listen-command vanquish / Mellow out - Life's likewise hard / Yous don't even want to call up / Come across the macho cock-rock metallic heroes / Vomit burn out of their big mouths / Shake your fists obediently / Make Leni Riefenstahl real proud / See the Aryan bozo with the cherry guitar / Parachute on the White House backyard / Gonna flop the commies with his air guitar / Then dumb he tin can't drive 55 / Like Bing Crosby before them / Besides idiotic to be real / Y'all desire it loud? / We'll make sure it goes nowhere / And then you won't become ideas / Chorus: Triumph of the swill / Triumph of the swill / Triumph of the swill / Triumph of the swill / Music is banned in Khomeini'south Iran / On the grounds that it stimulates the encephalon / We've washed him one ameliorate in the land of coke and love / Using music to put people'due south brains to sleep / Ever wonder why commercial radio'south and then bad? / Information technology's 'cause someone upstairs wants it that way / If the Doors or John Lennon were getting started now / The industry wouldn't sign 'em in a million years / So what practise we get / Christian censorship and taxed blank tapes / Shoppers strung out on our false hopes / Will flock to obey / (Chorus) |
