Oh the air is here is getting thick From all the dirty ciga-rhetoric Oh I can feel my inside turning black And if words were dollars I'd want mine back
Ooooh, every body gather round They better head for higher ground Ooooh, ever body gather round We're gonna burn this building down
You know for every Tombstone Road they pave They're gonna throw a tickertape parade And every thousand years that trickle by They'll find another prophet to crucify
Ooooh, every body gather round They better head for higher ground Ooooh, ever body gather round We're gonna burn this village down
And when they're warm and cozy in their beds We're gonna paint ourselves in black and red We're gonna batter down the gilded doors And put the writing on the walls And the ceilings, and the floors Anywhere we fancy the truth belongs
Ooooh, every body gather round They better head for higher ground Ooooh, ever body gather round We're gonna burn this city down
