lyrics

BUTCHER OF BEIRUT
Words & Music By Paul Cargnello

WHEN YOU COMING BACK
I AINT COMPLETE
TAKE IT TO THE PEOPLE
TAKE IT TO THE STREETS
I WAS JUST DRIVING THROUGH
YOUR BOULEVARD (DIRTY STREET)
YOU AINT WILD
YOU JUST PLAY THE WILD CARD

I SAID BACK UP
FILL THE CUP
FILL IT UP TILL IT TRICKLES DOWN
YOU BETTER RUN FROM THE BUTCHER OF BEIRUT
YOU BETTER HIDE FROM THE USA
A DEMOLITION COMING IN
FROM THE EAST AND THE WEST TODAY
THE WHITE HORDES STRETCHED AN INCH INTO A MILE
THE NORTHWEST SAID YOU CAN STAY A WHILE
WEAR OUR WHITE HOODS
SUPPORT OUR G.D.P OUR G.O.D
WE'RE ALL BORN ON A BATTLE ZONE
FORCED TO CALL IT HOME
WHERE I DWELL I CAN TELL
BY THE TEARS ON YOUR FACE
YOU'VE BEEN RUNNING LIFES RACE
YOU BEEN HIDING YOUR FACE
FROM THE REST OF IT
THE FASCISTS HIDE THE BEST OF IT

I SAW THE WINTER TURN TO SPRING
POLICE AND THEIVES BUSTED EVERYTHING
THE POPULATION KNOWS LOVE
THE POPULATION INVENTED IT
THE POPULATION KNOWS LOVE
SO WHY ARE YOU PREVENTING IT
I'M CONVINCED IT'S TIME TO GO
TO WALK OUT INTO THE MISMANAGED ROADS
AND REDRAW THE LINES WRITTEN INTO THE CEMENT
I DREAM ABOUT A WORLD WHERE I DON'T GOTTA PAY RENT
TO THE FASCIST REGIME
