All is quiet on the
Western front,
There appears to be a lull.
John and Jane
Doe are sleeping well tonight
With the little thoughts inside their skulls.
Salome she's undressed to the nines
Although a few pounds fatter.
She's got
Pavlov's bells on her ankles and wrists,
She coming at you with her platter.
They are building a new gallows when
You show up on the street.
Polishing the electric chair,
They're gonna give
You a front row seat.
Heard a sneer outside the garden;
Salutation so well-heeled: "Welcome all you suckers to Struggleville" x2
I stole down to the waterfront
To escape the desert heat.
What on earth you gotta do around here
To try and get yourself a drink
Heard John the
Baptist preaching
Said: "Make way for the King, But if you wanna recognize him, You gotta tell me all your sins"
They are building a new gallows when
You show up on the street.
Polishing the electric chair,
They're gonna give
You a front row seat.
Heard a sneer outside the garden;
Salutation so well-heeled: "Welcome all you suckers to Struggleville" x2
I've been trying to negotiate peace
With my own existence.
She's gotta stockpile full of weaponry;
She breaking every cease-fire agreement.
Whole thing is full of decay
As sure as
I'm made of dust,
And into rust
I know the beast is calling.
They are building a new gallows
When You show up on the street.
Polishing the electric chair,
They're gonna give
You a front row seat.
Heard a sneer outside the garden;
Salutation so well-heeled: "Final Stop! No points beyond Struggleville, "
Welcome all you suckers to
Struggleville"
