Soft Power

Yeah hold your fire man don't shoot Here comes the umpa lumpa with the nukes Riding his fly blown drone, like there ain't no one home With no particular cause except what's here now is his Comin' like a T-rex with all the confederates Lined us all up like the alphabet Refresh my memory again, I can't remember anymore The plan's we're either going to Mars or war I heard a lot of promises (Promises, promises...) Ahhh no no no no This ain't the way it has to go I heard how the deserters made the bush their home With coffee coloured skin, naked, green eyed Prone to flight, fight, stay hid They'd pick the fights they win Saying fuck soft power No one's comin' in And no one's gonna lie to me (Lie to me, lie to me...) Ahhh no no no no This ain't the way it has to go Now there's the siege of the survivors in a pock marked bank Pizza boys and postmen charging at its flanks A junior exec under a walnut desk Calls the local news to tell the world whats comin' next "They're takin pot shots 'cross the lawn with the curtains drawn But its like shooting at the Chinese Wall" SOFT POWER (Soft power, soft power...) Oh no no no no fuck They got surrounded by the hot stuffed crust While the billboard jolly roger drove 'em beige with rage To glory hole shaped graves in their shopping carts And now they're all in heaven with their BeeGees Christ Their souls are set free yet somebody's already buying 'em Look up there! ...it's a multiplex hex of Tom Cruise At the end of a rainbow all our eyeballs roll through He's picked up the option, he's gonna film the failed coup Right after he makes Top Gun 2 SOFT POWER!!! soft pedalled Everything was going so swell But now we need to play our weak hand well (Soft power, soft power...) Bye bye Scarecrow, hello old world I'm moving back into your shitty dump It leaks every time it rains And I'm in here wracking my brains And I'm drinking vodka from a dirty coffee cup I always thought I knew Once I shot through That I'd be sure of what I was giving up And the feeling of relief I'd get From getting up to leave was never meant to be Coz now you've gone and fucked everything up And to hear me talk you'd guess I'd be the first to walk And that I never dreamt that I'd be missing you so much Everyone here gets the joke Everybody except you It must be lonely at the top So let me lighten up your mood The down side is we're all about to get royally fucked And the upside is we're all about to get screwed But in spite of it all we'll miss you more than you miss us And I'm gonna miss you so much So much Bye bye Richie, Chachi, Fonzie, Ralphy, and Joanie Cunningham... But when you go I'm gonna miss you most Scarecrow Scarecrow I'm gonna miss you most When you go I'm gonna miss you most Scarecrow Scarecrow I'm gonna miss you most When you go I'm gonna miss you most Scarecrow Scarecrow I'm gonna miss you most
