WHY THEY ALWAYS SEND THE POOR?

Barbarisms by Barbaras, With pointed heels.Victorious, victorieas, kneel.For brand new spankin dealsMarching forward hypocriticand hypnotic computers.`You depend on our protection,Yet you feed us lies from the table cloth.

Lalalalala...ouu...

Everybody’s going to the party have a real good time.Dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine.

kneeling roses disappearing,into Moses’ dry mouth,breaking into Fort Knox,stealing our intentions,Hangars sitting dripped in oil,Crying FREEDOM!

Handed to obsoletion,Still you feed us lies from the table cloth.

Lalalalala...ouu...

Everybody’s going to the party have a real good time.Dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine.Everybody’s going to the party have a real good time.Dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine.

Blast off, its Party time,And we don't live in a facist nationBlast off, its party time,And where the f*** are you?

Where the f*** are you?Where the f*** are you?

Why don’t presidents fight the war?Why do they always send the poor?Why don’t presidents fight the war?Why do they always send the poor?Why do they always send the poor?Why do they always send the poor?WHY DO THEY ALWAYS SEND THE POOR?

Kneeling roses disappearing,into Moses’ dry mouth,breaking into Fort Knox,stealing our intentions,Hangars sitting dripped in oil,Crying FREEDOM!

Handed to obsoletion,Still you feed us lies from the tablecloth.

Lalalalala...ouu...

Everybody’s going to the party have a real good time.Dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine.Everybody’s going to the party have a real good time.Dancing in the desert blowing up the sun...Where the f*** are you!Where the f*** are you!
