Soft Power - Tropical Fuck Storm

Yeah hold your fire man don’t shoot

Here come the Oompa Loompa with the nukes

Riding his fly blown drone, like there ain’t no one home

With no particular cause except what’s here now is his

Comin' like a T-rex with all the confederates

Lined us all up like the alphabet

Refresh my memory again, I can’t remember anymore

The plan’s we’re either going to Mars or war

I heard a lot of promises

(Promises, promises…)

Ahhh no no no no

This ain’t the way it has to go

I heard how the deserters made the bush their home

With coffee coloured skin, naked, green eyed

Prone to flight, fight, stay hid

They’d pick the fights they win

Saying fuck soft power

No one’s comin' in

And no one’s gonna lie to me

(Lie to me, lie to me…)

Ahhh no no no no

This ain’t the way it has to go

Now there’s the siege of the survivors in a pock marked bank

Pizza boys and postmen charging at its flanks

A junior exec under a walnut desk

Calls the local news to tell the world whats comin' next

«they're takin pot shots 'cross the lawn with the curtains drawn

But its like shooting at the Chinese Wall»

SOFT POWER

(soft power, soft power…)

Oh no no no no fuck

They got surrounded by the hot stuffed crust

While the billboard jolly roger drove 'em beige with rage

To glory hole shaped graves in their shopping carts

And now they’re all in heaven with their BeeGees Christ

Their souls are set free yet somebody’s already buying ‘em

Look up there!

…it's a multiplex hex of Tom Cruise

At the end of a rainbow all our eyeballs roll through

He’s picked up the option, he’s gonna film the failed coup

Right after he makes Top Gun 2

SOFT POWER!!!

soft pedalled

Everything was going so swell

But now we need to play our weak hand well

(Soft power, soft power…)

Bye bye Scarecrow, hello old world

I’m moving back into your shitty dump

It leaks every time it rains

And I’m in here wracking my brains

And I’m drinking vodka from a dirty coffee cup

I always thought I knew

Once I shot through

That I’d be sure of what I was giving up

And the feeling of relief I’d get

From getting up to leave was never meant to be

Coz now you’ve gone and fucked everything up

And to hear me talk you’d guess I’d be the first to walk

And that I never dreamt that I’d be missing you so much

Everyone here gets the joke

Everybody except you

It must be lonely at the top

So let me lighten up your mood

The down side is we’re all about to get royally fucked

And the upside is we’re all about to get screwed

But in spite of it all we’ll miss you more than you miss us

And I’m gonna miss you so much

So much

Bye bye Richie, Chachi, Fonzie, Ralphy, and Joanie Cunningham…

But when you go I’m gonna miss you most Scarecrow

Scarecrow I’m gonna miss you most

When you go I’m gonna miss you most Scarecrow

Scarecrow I’m gonna miss you most

When you go I’m gonna miss you most Scarecrow

Scarecrow I’m gonna miss you most
