Pirate Jenny she got her revenge Hey boys hats off to her Sally Bowles she got her man and he got really hurt.
Me and my friends had some good ideas but I swear that town got so damn weird.
I got out alive in '35 I don't think I'll ever go back but I remember . . .
Pirate Jenny let me off the hook for one drink I bought for her.
And Sally Bowles used to look at me and sigh, "If you weren't so poor" It ain't no thing about the promise ring and socialists are so boring.
Just a bunch of bullies that I can't stand they got elected into office by . . . well, you.
Pirate Jenny she bought the bar now everybody works for her. And Sally Bowles "Mein Herr" bit took off and she's a star. But the Bully Boys start sitting up in the front and the doorman's taking tips and suggestions. I'm getting in fights in the places I used to play, it's like walking through a mine field every day.
"I'm a fag, I'm a Jew, how do you do? That's Mister Anarchist to you. You think your scene's dead? Well mine got killed by some dimwit's Triumph of the Will.
From the all-ages shows, to the full wet bars, to the front line squats of the culture wars, I'm not gonna hit you with the dogma or the lecturing, this is a purely personal thing."
You see, Pirate Jenny didn't have no friends when those bulls they came for her. And Sally Bowle's man he got pushed up against the wall. Now every time I see a Swiss bank I spit. You say "resist control"? Well, I mean it.
Cause it was come as you are in the cattle cars and not a damn thing you can do about it. 'Cept remember!
