The few surviving samurai survey the battle field
Count the arms, the legs and heads, and then divide by five
Drenched in blood, they move across the screen
Do I need to point or do you see the one I mean?
The one in back,
The way he acts,
Is he reminding you of anyone we know?
Isn't he so like certain people I could name?
Halfway through the 30 minutes
Halfway 'round the world
Here's the story of the genocidal overlord
In her palace with her epaulettes
Watch her little gestures as she lights her cigarette
Look at her you
Must see it too
Is she reminding you of anyone we know?
Isn't she so like certain people I could name?
Disembodied and detached a voice describes the scene
As a lizard stalks a helpless creature on TV
Music underscores the tragedy
Eyes with no expression watch the unsuspecting prey
Who is it like?
Doesn't it strike you as the very image of someone we know?
Isn't it so like certain people, how could anybody
Miss the obvious
And the uncanny and the clear resemblance?
Isn't it just like certain people I could name?
Count the arms, the legs and heads, and then divide by five
Drenched in blood, they move across the screen
Do I need to point or do you see the one I mean?
The one in back,
The way he acts,
Is he reminding you of anyone we know?
Isn't he so like certain people I could name?
Halfway through the 30 minutes
Halfway 'round the world
Here's the story of the genocidal overlord
In her palace with her epaulettes
Watch her little gestures as she lights her cigarette
Look at her you
Must see it too
Is she reminding you of anyone we know?
Isn't she so like certain people I could name?
Disembodied and detached a voice describes the scene
As a lizard stalks a helpless creature on TV
Music underscores the tragedy
Eyes with no expression watch the unsuspecting prey
Who is it like?
Doesn't it strike you as the very image of someone we know?
Isn't it so like certain people, how could anybody
Miss the obvious
And the uncanny and the clear resemblance?
Isn't it just like certain people I could name?
