John Cale - Sabotage lyrics

Life is short and love is very sweet
Look at all the people running from
Their lives in the street
What're they running from?
What are they running from?
Well, God, damn it, ask them
I wanna know, too

Read and destroy everything you
Read in the press
Read and destroy everything you read in books
It's a waste of time
It's a waste of energy
It's a waste of paper
And it's a waste of ink
Whatever you read in the books
Leave it there the word for it is
Sabotage, sabotage sabotage, sabotage

The military intelligence isn't what
It used to be so what
Human intelligence what it used to be either
It's a rising expectation
It's a rising of the tide
The wards will discharge all their
Patients in the streets
Are they hurt again? They are mine, yeah
Murderer

Sabotage, sabotage, sabotage
