Blasphemy

  • The Egyptians built their pyramids
    The Romans did what they did
    Now everything's come down to this
    It's just you and I, our kin!

    We could send a million to the moon
    But why can't I get on with you?
    Cellophane around my mouth
    Stops the anger sipping out

    Our deaf and dumb dinners
    Gravy in the mud
    No singles, just fillers
    Sometimes I wish I could
    But I can't behave

    I know it's not the heathen in me
    It's just that I've been bleeding lately,
    Internally
    Don't turn to me,
    Bite your tongue, the torrid weapon
    You could learn a useful lesson

    What's so great about the Great Depression
    Is it a blast for you?
    Blasphemy

    Words cut like a knife through Vaseline
    You can't really mean what you mean
    When you say what you say
    So tourettes make them come out that way,
    Wish I was here well I wish you weren't
    Your gift of anger's better burnt
    If nothing's said then nothing's learnt
    I though I wasn't but I'm really hurting

    Our deaf and dumb dinners,
    There's gravy in the mud
    And I can't behave
    No, it's not the heathen in me
    It's just that I've been bleeding lately,
    Internally

    Don't turn to me
    Bite my tongue, the torrid weapon
    We could learn a useful lesson
    What's so great about the Great Depression
    Was it a blast for you,
    Blasphemy

    A great adventure Christmas in the snow
    Senile Dementia maybe, what a way to go
    I can't behave
    I know it's not the heathen in me
    It's just that I've been bleeding lately,
    Internally
    So turn to me
    Bite your tongue, your torrid weapon
    We could learn a useful lesson
    In a greatness great depression
    It's not a blast for me,
    It's blasphemy Writer/s: GUY CHAMBERS, ROBERT PETER WILLIAMS
