Wine and Roses

Bring on the days of wine and roses

Riot squads and fire hoses

Bring on the days of wine and roses

Riot squads and fire hoses

Two leaders try to speak, but they don't make a sound, no

Autocrats run, but they don't move around, Lord

Big money mergers, but does that move ya?

X-Ray vision, I see right through ya

Do you remember when it was all bleak and black?

When the old man move forwards, and he never looked back?

But no one has a job, no, it's crime and torture

Cocaine epidemic and steel vultures

Stuck inside a fire that is a clearing

Superpower contenders no one is daring

One superpower left psychotic killer

Worldwide assault ya, and it's a thriller

You don't wanna be the one who's got to go to jail

If you're lucky, I.M.F. will hook you up and you'll make bail

Bring on the days of wine and roses

Riot squads and fire hoses

Bring on the days of wine and roses

Riot squads and fire hoses

Bring on the days of wine and roses

Riot squads and fire hoses

Bring on the days of wine and roses

Riot squads and fire hoses

The menace of success oppress rebellion

The men who play chess with the human weapons

The rally of ideas is the question

The city awaits total annihilation

Living under the muzzle of a gun

This is no holiday in the sun

It's disturbing its subversion

"V" is not for victory but for the vacant homes

Bring on the days of wine and roses

Riot squads and fire hoses

Bring on the days of wine and roses

Riot squads and fire hoses

Na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na

Na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na

Oh, yeah
