  • Hey Mr. Chips
    How's the wife?
    And are the kids still poison?
    Do you still eat them?
    Been under the gun
    Running the guns
    Say how'd this world get so fucking fun
    All of a sudden

    Here's a quarter for the phone
    Why don't you call someone and find out
    How it is we can all belong
    To something that no one
    Wants any part of
    One day you'll wake up and they'll be
    Advertising on police cars
    And your death will sell you out
    As someone smart, somewhat smart

    Baby don't get out of bed
    Just lay back down your pretty head
    And they're advertising on police cars

    Hey Mr. Chips
    Had me a notion
    Like a burning sky dropped to the ocean
    A bitter pill, is it better still
    To lay undone your guts for show?
    To reconstruct some of your bones?
    To turn it up?
    When it calls to you will you wake up?

    They're advertising on police cars
    Your death will sell you out as someone smart
    Somewhat smart
    Baby don't get out of bed
    Just lay back down your pretty head
    They're advertising on police cars Writer/s: MATTHEW GOOD
