We don't want to fight you, it's a lousy war I tell you it's murder out here My best buddy got it in the eye Now he ain't seeing things too clear
We all know that you've got your job to do We don't mean it personally at all But while you bloody rotten bastards threaten our way of life We're gonna get you by the balls
My momma was a flower-child back in sixty-six My daddy ran the Village Voice I burnt my draft-card like the other guys But Sam said “Boy, there ain't no choice”
So we're lying here, cold with sweat and fear Answering Liberty's call And while you bloody rotten bastards threaten our way of life You're gonna get it in the balls
So we're lying here, cold with sweat and fear Answering Liberty's call And while you bloody rotten bastards threaten our way of life You're gonna get it You're gonna get it You're gonna get it in the balls
ii. Venus – Bringer of Peace
Mackie's gone on rubber, while our Debbie digs her brother And their Des is doing well on the game Eddie's got some notion that to get the right emotion You've got to make it out in the rain
It's love, it's love Or something of the kind But eighty combinations Don't bring peace of mind
Peter likes to show it and Penny loves to blow it, On a rainy day she puts it away: Johnnie takes a hard line trying to score among the big time Who come around to Annabelle's to play.
It's love, it's love Or something of the kind But eighty combinations Don't bring peace of mind

iv. Jupiter – Bringer of Jollity
So nice to have a party So nice to see you there No need for conversation So nice to sit and stare
Such entertaining people So elegant and smart Would someone pass the matches And let the party start?
That amiable feeling You only find with friends You'll know them so much better Before the party ends
Thanks for a lovely evening It must be time for bed I'll ring you in the morning To find out what I said
v. Saturn – Bringer of Old Age
Pray for the man of one hundred and thirty four Features as firm as a boy of fifteen With no wrinkles or blemish he's smooth as a pebble And tries to remember the course of his life
His heartbeat is steady, the heart of a truck-driver Lungs of a college-girl hit by a tram His kidneys are plastic, his genital functions Controlled by a motor attached to his thigh
Only his mind's his own With all its reason flown
Pray for the man with a life never ending Pray for the man who is living, living, living, living, ...
vi. Uranus – The Magician
Trick cyclist, take me with for the ride You say I've got a damaged ego somewhere inside A case of deep depression on account of the repression That I got while I was sucking at my mother's breast
That he got while he was sucking at his mother's breast
Trick cyclist, let you into my soul Fifty one-hour sessions and you say I'll be whole You say I'm ineffectual on account of I'm bisexual Due to lactic malnutrition at my mother's breast
