I’m up late pacing the floor I won’t be told You have your reservations I’m bought and sold I’ll face the music I’ll face the facts Even when we walk in polka dots and chequer slacks Bowing and squawking Running after titbits Bobbing and squinting Just like a nitwit (CHORUS) Two little Hitlers will fight it out until One little Hitler does the other one’s will I will return I will not burn Down in the basement I need my head examined I need my eyes excited I’d like to join the party But I was not invited You make a member of me I’ll be delighted I wouldn’t cry for lost souls you might drown Dirty words for dirty minds Written in a toilet town Dial me a Valentine She’s a smooth operator It’s all so calculated She’s got a calculator She’s my soft touch typewriter And I’m the great dictator (Chorus) A simple game of self-respect You flick a switch and the world goes off Nobody jumps as you expect I would have thought you would have had enough by now You call selective dating For some effective mating I thought I’d let you down dear But you were just deflating I knew right from the start We’d end up hating Pictures of the merchandise Plastered on the wall We can look so long as we don’t have to talk at all You say you’ll never know him He’s an unnatural man He doesn’t want your pleasure He wants as no one can He wants to know the names of All those he’s better than (Chorus) I will return I will not burn . . . . . ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ michael p mccullough ++++ Klamath Falls OR # 1.541.884.3278 all moanday tearsday wailsday thumpsday frightday shatterday (joyce/FW) http://www.magick.net/~michael/ http://www.magick.net/~michael/music.html

Cette chanson évoque la lutte insensée entre deux personnes qui semblent se déchirer pour des raisons futiles. Le protagoniste se sent piégé dans une société qui valorise des comportements ridicules, se demandant pourquoi tout le monde se précipite vers une vieillesse qu'il ne désire pas. L'idée de pouvoir et de compétition est omniprésente, avec une satire du monde moderne où les relations sont superficielles et basées sur des jeux de manipulation. Le tout se déroule dans un contexte où les frustrations personnelles se mêlent à des réflexions sur les dynamiques sociales et les attentes déconcertantes qui y existent. La chanson utilise un ton mordant pour critiquer cette obsession de la domination et du statut, en soulignant le ridicule de tout cela.
