Lyrics:

intro

As for the political situation

verse

They locked up a man who wanted to rule the world

The fools, they locked up the wrong man

A man who eats meat wants to get his teeth into something

A man who does not eat meat wants to get his teeth into something else

If these thoughts interest you even for a moment, you′re lost

Ey listener-

What was that?

They're calling me a fascist pig again?

(That′ll do)

I wrote this in a peeling room in the Chelsea Hotel

Before I was rich and famous and they gave me well-painted rooms

I was coming off of amphetamine

And I was pursuing a blonde lady whom I met in a Nazi poster

And I was doing many things to attract her attention

I was lighting wax candles in the form of men and women

I was marrying the smoke of two cones of sandalwood
