==Lyrics== | |||
<poem>Please, could you stop the noise | |||
I'm trying to get some rest | |||
From all the unborn chicken voices | |||
In my head | |||
What's that? | |||
What's that? | |||
When I am king | |||
You will be first against the wall | |||
With your opinion | |||
Which is of no consequence at all | |||
What's that? | |||
What's that? | |||
Ambition makes you look pretty ugly | |||
Kicking, squealing, Gucci little piggy | |||
You don't remember | |||
You don't remember | |||
Why don't you remember my name? | |||
Off with his head, man | |||
Off with his head, man | |||
Why don't you remember my name? | |||
I guess he does | |||
Rain down, rain down | |||
Come on, rain down on me | |||
From a great height | |||
From a great height, height | |||
Rain down, rain down | |||
Come on, rain down on me | |||
From a great height | |||
From a great height, height | |||
That's it, sir, you're leaving (Rain down) | |||
The crackle of pigskin (Rain down) | |||
The dust and the screaming (Come on, rain down) | |||
The yuppies networking (On me) | |||
The panic, the vomit (From a great height) | |||
The panic, the vomit (From a great height) | |||
God loves his children | |||
God loves his children, yeah</poem> | |||
