The City That Ate Itself Lyrics

I want another one, I want another one

I want another one, I want another one

The only books permitted in the city are those written in the city

Foreign looks and fashions in the city must be rationed in the city

All ideas that are thought in the city must be bought in the city

All applause that is canned in the city come from hands of the city

Any passions aroused in the city must be doused in the city

And if you're looking to get pissed in our city, you must resist in our city

If you wish to spawn in our hospital, you must be born in our hospital

Your heretical ideals have no welcome in the city

Don't get emotional

Don't get emotional

Don't get emotional

Don't get emotional, the city, the city

All meat to be fileted in the city must be sprayed in the city

And all the dead bee hives in the city workshy in the city

Foreign youths may frequent our institutions

Learn our proud traditions and circumlocutions

But then they must away

So any passions aroused, must be doused

And if you would get high, stoned, pissed you must resist

And if you wish to spawn, you must be born

Lest our militia pay you a visit in the city

Don't get emotional

Don't get emotional

Don't get emotional

Don't get emotional, the city, the city

See the plants propped up in the soil

Revenants of a planet that boils in space

A hot coal to a cold shoulder

Same old new world order

But who cares? We'll be buried like pharaohs

With our man-servant dogs and our luxury piles

First in line to plunder the next world

Infinity bought and sold

Infinity bought and sold, infinity bought and sold

Infinity bought and sold, infinity bought and sold

Dug up by the robots to jerk in Madame Tussauds

Dug up by the robots to jerk in Madame Tussauds

Dug up by the robots to jerk in Madame Tussauds

Dug up by the robots to jerk in Madame Tussauds

Dug up by the robots to jerk in Madame Tussauds

Dug up by the robots to jerk
