Philistine Jackknife Songtext
von Elysian Fields

Fat chance, Philistine jackknife awaits you
You made him a star
Disaster, a festering pie hole
Infecting those near and far
It′s not my problem, the kid said on the train
It makes no difference 'cause they′re all the same
"Hey, I know, let's take selfies like we're messed up
Passed out on the train, you look amazing"

One day, we looked in the mirror like always
Guess what we saw?
The cancer spread by the quidnons
The door prize arrived at stage four
The horror show is now live-streaming
No more time for daydreaming
In real time, we′re all knee-deep in real slime
And this ain′t a dream, the market is ticking


Can we smoke him out?
Tear him from the garage top
Mercenaries standing by
Clocking in by the hour

Some say, "Calm down, change the channel
Abstain, muffle the pain"
I want to, but I can't keep from caring and feeling insane
Is that the aim?
I want peace and love to be king
And someone said, "Let freedom ring"
But sometimes, no matter how much you want to
You just can′t sing
When you're too busy puking

Can we smoke him out?
Tear him from the garage top
Mercenaries standing by
Clocking in by the hour


Watch out, Philistine jackknife is gunning
He′s at it again
The wastrel, the sniveling piglet
The puppet, see how he spars
Deranged, just like a mad cow
He's charging
Danger, pink air is coming out the showers
The problem is ours
The problem is ours
The problem is ours
