The Boomtown Rats - Banana Republic lyrics
[The Boomtown Rats - Banana Republic lyrics]
Screaming in the Suffering sea
It sounds like crying everywhere I go
Everywhere I see the black and blue uniforms
Police and priests
And I wonder do you wonder
While you're sleeping with your whore
That sharing beds with history
Is like a-licking running sores
Forty shades of green yeah
Sixty shades of red
Heroes going cheap these days
Price a bullet in the head
Banana Republic septic Isle
Suffer in the Screaming sea
It sounds like dying everywhere I go
Everywhere I see the black and blue uniforms
Police and priests
Take your hand and lead you up a garden path
Let me stand aside here and watch you pass
Striking up a soldier's song
I know that tune it begs too many questions
And answers to
Banana Republic septic Isle
Suffer in the Screaming sea
It sounds like dying everywhere I go
Everywhere I see the black and blue uniforms
Police and priests
The purple and the pinstripe
Mutely shake their heads
A silence shrieking volumes
A violence worse than the condemn
Stab you in the back yeah
Laughing in your face
Glad to see the place again
It's a pity nothing's changed
Banana Republic septic Isle
Suffer in the Screaming sea
It sounds like dying everywhere I go
Everywhere I see the black and blue uniforms
Police and priests
