Viewing Lyrics for Smash Clause 29!:
| | | Artist: | Chumbawamba |
| | Album: | Miscellaneous | | Track: | Smash Clause 29! | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 1 | | | | Lyrics: | Oscar Wilde, Oscar Wilde, can you tell me where you've been?
I've been down to London town to
pay a visit to the Queen.
Oscar Wilde, Oscar Wilde, can you tell me what you saw?
I saw
the Queen and all her coutiers cooking up new laws;
I saw the corridors of power, with closets
wall-to-wall;
And I saw the truth, the truth, behind the Emperor's new Clause!
So you burn
the books, and close your eyese to every other possibility-- you got to keep your job for
collaborating with the enemy. You keep throwing stones though your house is made of glass; you've
helped to make McCarthyism popular, at last.
Blessed are the moralists, the Judges, the
patriarchs. Blessed are the gutter-press, the AIDS-joke comedians. Praise to the guilt-mongerers,
the fear-builders, the sin-fetishists.
Glory, glory, halleluia, His truth is marching on
One in ten driven underground, divisions getting wider. Hide your inclination behind a straight face
and a Bible. Third Reich morality, and if the cap doesn't fit, there's a designer label for
hypocrites.
Here comes the officer, knocking on your door. He's got a care order in the pocket
of his uniform. Where's Radclyffe Hall? Now is the time to tear up clause 29!
Here comes the
preacher checking your soul. Too late sir, I'd rather fall. We'll eat your bread and we'll drink
your wine, and still tear up clause 29! Here comes the judge, hammer in hand, but we've all gone
deaf to bigots' commands. Our justice will cross the thin blue line and tear up clause 29!
Here
comes a brick, heading your way. A concrete opinion says all I want to say. Save your own soul, mine
will be fine, once we've shredded clause 29. | | | |
