Lili's Address

(专辑： Up Against It! - 1997)

Puff we now ourselves with pride
Swelling outward far and wide
For God Herself is on our side
With heaven's plan for the motherland

"All right, all right ladies,
Settle down now, settle down"

Now, the usual formalities
Everyone, hold all your questions please
You'll all have your opportunities to
Shoot the breeze or cut the cheese

But upon this juncture I must state
How immensely you appreciate
The illusion of grandeur I create
When every trait I overrate
And every word gesticulate
In praise of the motherland

Puff we now ourselves with pride
Swelling outward far and wide
For God Herself is on our side
With heaven's plan for the motherland

"Quiet please, quiet, I'm still speaking"

Irregardless of to what we pledge
The electorate gives me the edge
And the boost to my ego that can't be measured
Ruling you is such a pleasure

Speaking of good taste in dames
I submit to you my list of names
Maybe some of them come up short on brains
But good at diplomatic games
And sycophantic without shame
I give you the cabinet

The privilege is strictly ours
To have you watch while we devour
The crumbs of presidential power
That we can grub from Lilly

She's got the wardrobe we adore
Her teeth are perfect, what is more
She knows what having friends is for
We're silly over Lilly,
Silly over Lilly
'Til we're ill, we'll sing it shrilly

Lilly is the nation's pride
And we love her like a mother

"You like me, you like me"

You don't know what this means to me
To be the one you run to see when
You need a mother

"All right, I feel good
I'm a (partridge[?])
I'm ready to take you all on
First question please"

Tell us the end, tell us the end
Can you confirm the rumours going 'round?
For the record, one time being
Terms of truth are being spread around

"All right, all right, settle down buddy
Are you ready to get an answer to your questions:
Yes, yes, no, maybe, no,
Maybe, not a wink, I wasn't there,
I don't recall, the dog ate it.
Now I certainly hope that clears up the air
And we can get on with important business now"

Tell us prime minister
Tell us prime minister
For the record
One time, prime minister

Sources state
That the Archbishop's hiding some
Thing of interest
Something of interest

Sources state
Maybe you're just a puppet of
Special interest
Some special interest
Special interest
Some special interest

We would like to know your posture please
On the hard line's platform policies
Like providing free to all the nation
Mandatory mass castration

For the sake of common decency
The Judeo-Christian society
Wants to guarantee a pregnancy
To anyone past twenty-three

Tell us prime minister
Tell us prime minister
We've fresh ugly rumors going 'round

For the sake of party unity
I've some photographs you'd like to see

Puff we now ourselves with pride
Swelling outward far and wide
For God Herself is on our side
With heaven's plan for the motherland

All right ladies, settle down now
