Tubilah Dog - Watching (while The Revolution Dies) lyrics

rate me

In the back of a yellow drab army trailer parked outside Baghdad

Lie the broken dreams of Death's own saviour

With the plans that the Agency had

And though the green lens marks you out for a role on CNN

When the camera clicks and the bomb site sticks

Goodbye on the count of ten

El Salvador Afghanistan I've seen them all before

Through the silken phallus of a Leica lens I'm counting out the score

But as the tracer falls and dies a sunset fiery red

Just fifty words for the boss back home

Then shoot straight back to bed

He said

Shoot em in the back now

Shoot em in the head now

Shoot em in back shoot em right between the eyes

Shoot em in the back now

Shoot em in the head now

Watch while the revolution dies

In olden times they use to say that the round that had your name

Would seek you out one cold dark night relieve you of the pain

In modern times technology it now knows where you live

So open your door to the Yankee dream it's time to give give give

He said

Shoot em in the back now

Shoot em in the head now

Shoot em in back shoot em right between the eyes

Shoot em in the back now

Shoot em in the head now

Watch while the revolution dies
