Jarvis Cocker - From Auschwitz To Ipswich lyrics
[Jarvis Cocker - From Auschwitz To Ipswich lyrics]
They want our way of life
Well, they can take mine any time they like
'Cause god knows I know I ain't livin' right
I'm wrong oh, I know I'm so wrong
So like the Roman Empire fell away
Let me tell you, we are going the same way
Ah, behold the decline and fall
All hold hands with our backs to the wall
It's the end, why don't you admit it?
It's the same from Auschwitz to Ipswich
Evil comes I know from not where
But, if you take a look inside yourself
Maybe you'll find some in there
Not one single soul was saved
I was orderin' an Indian takeaway
I was spared whilst others went
To an early grave mm, got stoned
Yeah, went out and got stoned
Well, if your ancestors could
See standin' there
They would gaze in wonder at your Frigidaire
They had to fight just to survive
So can't you do somethin' with your life?
Here it comes, why don't ya' embrace it?
You lack the guts needed to face it
Say goodbye to the way you've been livin'
You never realized you were on the wrong side
Nobody's goin' to win
They want our way of life
Well, they can take mine any time they like
Well, they can take mine any time they like
'Cause god knows I know I ain't livin' right
I'm wrong oh, I know I'm so wrong
So like the Roman Empire fell away
Let me tell you, we are going the same way
Ah, behold the decline and fall
All hold hands with our backs to the wall
It's the end, why don't you admit it?
It's the same from Auschwitz to Ipswich
Evil comes I know from not where
But, if you take a look inside yourself
Maybe you'll find some in there
Not one single soul was saved
I was orderin' an Indian takeaway
I was spared whilst others went
To an early grave mm, got stoned
Yeah, went out and got stoned
Well, if your ancestors could
See standin' there
They would gaze in wonder at your Frigidaire
They had to fight just to survive
So can't you do somethin' with your life?
Here it comes, why don't ya' embrace it?
You lack the guts needed to face it
Say goodbye to the way you've been livin'
You never realized you were on the wrong side
Nobody's goin' to win
They want our way of life
Well, they can take mine any time they like
