Hey champ, you've got a point to prove!
Stripped of your glory no-one will remember you
Your accolades torn away, cast out alone
You'll find your niche at the bottom before you know
Skate away on the river, right back to the crazy scene
Get out!
Go find yourself an unlikely ally
Step up!
It takes guts, but you've got them in spades
Sharpen your blades!
Make gold that ferric flower
Just don't lose your head
Your crazy moves make the crowd swoon
Textbook perfection, the performance of your life
You smell like a winner
And dreams don't weigh you down no more
You've slain all your opponents
With every weapon you have
Your crazy moves
Behind the curtain they'll lose their heads
As the gold is hung around your neck
You'll win the crowd over
After this is over, you'll be revered
So make it worth the sweat and tears
You'll come back stronger than before
And never put a foot wrong
Paint on a smile and get in line
With your spirits high and your hopes alive
Get wild and demonstrate your style
They wanna see just what you've got

Can't afford the interest
On your one-bedroomed slice of paradise
When they cut away at the crutch
That you rely on to survive
But they'll keep the carrot at arm's length with empty promise of reward
So roll your dirty sleeves up, grind away consume all that you're worth
Right?!
With ritual contrition
You'll feel absolved and new and clean
But where's your god to help you out
With all the mouths you have to feed?
Loan sharks will circle closing in
Bored kids pick Kryptonite locks with pens
And all the beauty school dropouts
Go back to high school
Vile careerist axemen shine their blades and swing and laugh again
Heartless spinning mouthpieces try to cover up the human cost
Relentless injustice
The cowards opposite abstain
Corporate lapdogs leave us with
Indignation palpable as pain
Drink deep and cry into your gin
Dance to forget this mess you're in
From the speakers the Rock Lobster sings
Ah, ah, ah.....

Heat radiates from the house tonight
And black smoke billows from the towers
Dragons in their green pit breathe fire
The struggle facing those in need
The warm glow of the autumn leaves
Beckons winters icy grip
And the choice to starve or
Fight franchised inequality!
Economic disparity!
Stand up. there's strength in unity!
Us vs them, us vs them
It's getting cold out there so you'd better
Wrap up
Prices inflating and you'll find you can't
Pay up
But they've gotta deck those fucking halls
Get lit up
New rivers flow with angry tears
State of the art killing machines
Elaborate recruitment schemes
Cut your teeth in battle games and we'll teach you how to fly
You're an invader in their fields
The order comes from home to
Don't think, respect authority!
Dispense with all morality!
Abandon rationality!
Us vs them, us vs them
Good morning, River Euphrates
Wake up
Firestorm from the trees, so quickly now
Kit up
But nobody gives a fuck as you watch your friends
Get lit up
New rivers flow with blood and fear
Serpents in suits hide in the grass
Ready to strike with their venom
Like Bobby B. said to Tony;
You won't hear it when it comes!
They'll sell you war with their hands in the pockets of God
Down the wine with the gospel and sing along
Kill for freedom, the father and the son
Keep marching on

Please don't try to talk me round
I hate the weather I hate this town
And I can't say better for you
Grey buildings surround us
The traffic is hopeless
And don't get me started
On mutant white vultures, oh no!
We'll dig ourselves out of this graveyard town
Hit the bends and you've gotta break 'em down
All of our most excellent adventures
Are born of malcontent
We'll switch off our electrical devices
And put our deepest fears to rest
Pylons as tall as giraffes
Transplanted on the patchwork fields below
Give way to wild grounds and flatlands
As we fly closer to the coast
All of our most fascinating friendships
Are forged through wine and sitcom quotes
Freewheelin' and a sense of liberation
From the routine of back home
We'll escape to somewhere far from nowhere
Play truant from responsibility
Declare a new state from the tallest mountain
Running forever wild and free
