For reasons of security
We’ve got to lie, you’ve got to believe
For reasons that will always be
You’ve got to pay, you’ve got to bleed
Hawks and doves and gays and straights
Flying guerrillas at the Empire State
From Northern Poland and dark Rumania
Saving democracy with war and torture
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, sell me weapons to keep me alive
MI 5, 6, 7, all politicians go to heaven
Detox, Botox cut price deals
Some kind of living in the retail world
A paragon of virtue, defender of capital
Addicted to shopping and the size 8 girls
IKEA riot scene
Swedish meatballs painted green
Outlet retail village scream
Low emission magazines
Race hate, makes round 8, peace and love gonna have to wait
8, 9,10,11,12, we all work for the national health
The CIA is great; keep us safe from a Muslim state
13,14,15,16, round ‘em up, lock ‘em up and keep ‘em virgins
Sick, sick, we get sick, we go shopping and we’re all thick
Shit, shit, it tastes like shit, burn it down yeah phone in sick
War, war, vote for war, No-one likes international law
Buy buy walk on by, screw the world yeah buy buy buy
