Oh our identity
Feels like we’re going to be
Sharing a destiny
Sounds like religion to me
Strange ideology
Not what it used to be
Defined by nativity
Not that it matters to me
Bear with me
And hear my strategy
‘Cause we’re not going to be
Enemies
So please be good to me
And enter sanctuary
You’re not the chosen one
Born on a magical day
Claiming Jerusalem
Outsiders left to obey
Oh, that’s peculiar
Just like the sound of your voice
Your mind’s getting narrower
Feels like you’re left with no choice
Bear with me
And hear my strategy
‘Cause we’re not going to be
Enemies
So please be good to me
And enter sanctuary

6OOO Sardines

Me and the rest of us
6000 sardines
Watching society
Go to smithereens
Little swines, porcupines
Philistines, simple minds
Orwell said the pigs are near
Animal farm is here
But those 6OOO sardines
The most human of beings
With the left and the greens
Hold tight Emilia
Romagna hold tight
You may be the last resort
A beacon in the night
Little swines, porcupines
Philistines, simple minds
Orwell said the pigs are near
Animal farm is here
But those 6OOO sardines
The most human of beings
With the left and the greens
And those 6OOO sardines
The most human of beings
With the left and the greens

Nothing to do
I’m having a Wednesday in the park
I don’t have a clue
I think I will stay here after dark
Nothing on my phone
It’s dead by the way
I’m out here on my own
I’m planning to stay
In the dark
O blissful innocence
Where did you go
The pressure’s killing us
Nobody knows
The people agree
There is a virus underway
It’s carrying my name
That is what all the people say
What’s that all about
I couldn’t care less
The wisdom of the crowds
Contagious I guess
In the dark

The city skies have turned to black
So many thoughts, you’re losing track
The landscape’s dark
It’s welcoming no-one
The clothes you wear are almost dry
Dissolving in the swarthy sky
Already gone
You’re waiting for no-one
Tell me where did your blood flow
What makes your skin glow
Why did your sons go follow the rainbow
Why is your mood so low
Abandoned streets and broken stones
In Rotterdam, the neighbours moan
And all the while
You’re waiting for no-one
Tell me where did your blood flow
What makes your skin glow
Why did your sons go follow the rainbow
Why is your mood so low
I knew your name, you were my aid
It took some time to contemplate
But then I named you working class woman
Tell me where did your blood flow
What makes your skin glow
Why did your sons go follow the rainbow
Why is your mood so low
Tell me where did your blood flow
What makes your skin glow
Why did your sons go follow the rainbow
Why is your mood so low

Are you going
To San Francisco
In the summer
We’ll be hiking to the west coast
We’ll be surfin’ couches
We’ll have flower weddings
In purple settings
Chocolate headings
Will be printed on the records
That we’ll give to strangers
And we’ll dance like it’s 1968 again
Plastic Onos
And U2 Bonos
In monokini’s
Will be there on our arrival
And the people cheering
And we’ll dance like it’s 1968 again
Are you going to San Francisco
We’re going to scare some devils
Like it’s 1968
Are you moving to the valley
Start a business
With your libertarian values
It’s so horrifying
We’ll have you shamed like it’s 1968 again
Are you going to San Francisco
We’re going to scare some devils
Like it’s 1968
Summertime
We’ll be a loving pair
