Jenny Ondioline (demo) Songtext
von Stereolab

Life on Earth is a bloody hazardous affair
As in the city, the republic was collapsing away
I think the brilliant crust′s hiding sad realities to come
And there's a decisive battle that we all had that we lost

I don′t care if the fascists have to win
I don't care, democracy's being fucked
I don′t care, socialism′s full of sin
The only truth you miss is being sucked
But what is exciting's the challenge and stimulation
That the tensions help keep the creative nerve so taut


The absence of profounder transformation in the country
Make their hopes turn sour, feelings of let down in irony
Obviously once more, it could be called treachery
Rappel à l′ordre, oh, don't you get too revolutionary

I don′t care if the fascists have to win
I don't care, democracy′s being fucked
I don't care, socialism's full of sin
The only truth you miss is being sucked
But what is exciting′s the challenge and stimulation
That the tensions help keep the creative nerve so taut

Life on Earth is a bloody hazardous affair
Impressive malleability of human identity
The horrors of the war were to be repeated anyway
It was like taking candy from a baby
