Smash Clause 29!
(专辑: Uneasy Listening - 1998)
Oscar Wilde, Oscar Wilde, can you tell me where you've been? I've been down to London town to pay a
visit to the
Queen. Oscar Wilde, Oscar Wilde, can you tell me what you saw? I
saw the
Queen and all her coutiers cooking up new laws; I
saw the
corridors of power, with closets wall-to-wall; And I
saw the
truth, the
truth, behind the
Emperor's new Clause! So you burn the
books, and close your eyese to every other possibility you got to keep your job for collaborating with the
enemy. You keep throwing stones though your house is made of glass; you've helped to make McCarthyism popular, at last. Blessed are the
moralists, the
Judges, the
patriarchs. Blessed are the
gutter-press, the
AIDS-joke comedians. Praise to the
guilt-mongerers, the
fear-builders, the
sin-fetishists. Glory, glory, halleluia, His truth is marching on One in ten driven underground, divisions getting wider. Hide your inclination behind a
straight face and a
Bible. Third Reich morality, and if the
cap doesn't fit, there's a
designer label for hypocrites. Here comes the
officer, knocking on your door. He's got a
care order in the
pocket of his uniform. Where's Radclyffe Hall? Now is the
time to tear up clause 29! Here comes the
preacher checking your soul. Too late sir, I'd rather fall. We'll eat your bread and we'll drink your wine, and still tear up clause 29! Here comes the
judge, hammer in hand, but we've all gone deaf to bigots' commands. Our justice will cross the
thin blue line and tear up clause 29! Here comes a
brick, heading your way. A
concrete opinion says all I
want to say. Save your own soul, mine will be fine, once we've shredded clause 29.
