John Grant - The Only Baby lyrics
[John Grant - The Only Baby lyrics]
So you ventured out into the new world
To spread your seed in every
Land you could find
To take by force whatever you
Could get your hands on
You said "We're gonna take whatever place on
The map my finger lands on"
We'll show them savages who's
Calling all the shots
We'll give them education which they
Could have got without us
We'll strip the land and force her to put out
And if we don't get what we want
We'll put it in her mouth
This is really hard I think
We're gonna need somе slaves
We'll drag some pеople back to here
And we'll make them dig their very own graves
We'll give them clothes and
Teach them to behave
And they will like it or else
Because God obviously wants it that way
This should destroy their spirit's and
Crush their sense of self
And when we see the effect this has
We'll blame it on the people themselves
And if they complain we'll pour an oceans
Worth of sugar and drugs on top
And then we'll get some bald
Guy wearing a suit to
Go on TV and berate them
When they cannot stop
And we'll shun the ones who do
Not get the christian diseases
Like cancer, MS, heart failure
Lou Gehrig's Codependency and diabetes
We know which ones come from
Our father in the sky
And we know which ones were
Designed by the other guy
That thing in the White House
Is beholden to a deity
It's the same one we are and
It's name is the economy
Imaginary numbers dance like Vegas
Showgirls in his head
And when the veil is lifted
You're gonna wish that you were dead
And now we've gotten all the
Things we could ever want
Like cars, milk frothers
Crime and books from self help authors
And coal and diamonds
Buildings oil and lots of steel
And every moment was worth it
I'm sorry that's just how I feel
Well that's the only baby
That bitch could have
That's the only baby that bitch could have
Don't look so glum there's no
Reason to feel sad cause baby
That's the only baby that
Bitch could've ever had
Well, that's the only baby
That bitch could have
Well, that's the only baby
That bitch could have
Well, that's the only baby
That bitch could have
Well, that's the only baby
