Jimmy Carter Lyrics

ELECTRIC SIX

"Jimmy Carter"

*

Like Jimmy Carter like,

Electric underwear

Like any idea that never had a chance

Of going anywhere

This is who you are

Hey celebrity

Who drives off a bridge in a car

Your beautiful body filling up with water

*

Like Harry Truman dropping bombs out of the air

Like any self-respecting multi-billionaire

This is who you are

Five dancing teenage boys

Who sing their way into our hearts

Backstreets back

Alright

*

And there's a toxic cloud hanging over her

And there's white noise on the screen

And there's a man in a hotel room

Assaulting me who just came to clean

Up the mess

*

Backstreets back alright

*

Like Ronald Reagan falling asleep

For ever more

Dreaming of horses and

Dreaming of nuclear war

This is where we are tonight

Everybody under surveilance from a satellite

You can be the first one on your block to die

*

And there's a plague of locusts upon us

And there's a nightmare in the swarm

And there's a lion out in the desert

Slouching towards Bethlehem to be born

Again

*

Backstreets back alright

*

Alright

*
