Lyrics
So much for the ban on the bomb
The President's wife has carried a handgun
The youth are blood sports for fun now
The comet hunts are better run now
You hear a crack in the distance baby
Phony men cause resistance maybe
Don't smile we're gonna get you
We'll have your rifle off you too
Give me a kiss
And hold the candle to this
A foxy lady dressed to kill
Say you won't but you will
What's on your face and your breath mama
Wear your glory or death mama
Liberation's on the way
Yep the dog's gotta have its day
Pack up your baby rats and crush box out of hell
Farmer in the dell
Oh please I insist
Now hold the candle to this
Bring on the ecstasy
And the police
Bring on my wedding day
And everybody's birthday
Blow up the abattoir
Detonate
We're going home
To where the buffalo roam
Old MacDonald had a farm
E-I-E-I-O
And on this farm there was a cow
There's a new generation of men
From Osaka, Siam and Saigon
The sailors mixed it on the shore
They were making love and making war
Well here's a present for the navy
Same meat, different gravy
Those chicks will find you that's for sure
One two three four tell the people what you wore
You're American Miss
Oh hold the candle to this
