Yesterday's coal train came to rest in the bitter

Cutting

And as the signals took an age to change it

Was

Easy pickings

So you go to the movies where they smash it

Up

You want to feel your heart pumping it makes

You feel good

All through the karaoke girls were squealing

The hits wali

As another Mercedes benz gets blown to bits

While all the time in the camp town theaters

Of piccadilly

They're going to throw a black face minstrel

Show for the barefoot children

They're always selling

They'll say it's quaint as the guilty ones faint

And claim they ain't underneath this paint

Interrupt these liberal saints with their

Whips and watermelon

Reports are coming in of a coal train robbery

It's like another world or it had better be

So we return to whitewashed pout of his

Committed lips

Since he was declared the long lost fountain

Of youth that drips and drips and drips

They'll be sending him round from door to door

To sell you back what's already yours

So many good deeds so little time

Say the advertising agency swine

When man has destroyed what he thinks he owns

I hope no living thing cries over his bones

If you don't believe that I'm going for good

You can count the days I'm gone and chop up

The chairs for firewood

Reports are coming in of a coal train robbery

It's like another world or it had better be

Reports are coming in of a coal train robbery

It's like another world or it had better be

Reports

Reports

Reports
