Let’s dance
the Wormwood Watusi!

lyrics

I think I've been here forever now / I've lost track of time, anyhow / I hear songs of love / I hear songs of lust / But there ain't much here / To get a Puritan fussed /I'm bored I’m bored so bored it hurts / We're not looking to the heavens / We're not digging through the dirt / We're just here, just here, uneventfully so / We're not standing firm, we got nowhere to go / It's worse than the muzak in the lifts at Alcatraz / I'm stuck listening to Guantanamo Jazz / I know they say art is subjective / But it seems so pointless, without an objective / Other than money / And other than fame / Just following wallets / To more of the same / Your focus, your focus, is a focus group / A verse, a chorus / Build then loop / You write with your brain, your heart and your smile / I write with my liver, my lips they spit bile / It's worse than the muzak in the lifts at Alcatraz, / I'm stuck listening to Guantanamo Jazz / Stop being comfortable, fuck the rhythm up / Or forget the lyrics, something something the rhyme scheme / Or at least sing about something that bears repeating / Like how the poor need feeding and the rich need eating / A song only needs to be sung again / If when it was sung it was ignored back then / This music, it’s torture, an insult to us all / Who needs Heaven? The fun's in the fall! / Forget the muzak in the lifts at Alcatraz / And keep your music, your
Guantanamo Jazz!
