Lyrics
Banner Boogie
It’s so f*** in hot, man / everything seems to melt
Pants stick at your hips / ya can hock yer suspenders; hock yer belt
The whole world is steamin / soakin with sweat
You’re hard on movin / ain’t nuthin goin down in yer bed
Lately people got accustomed to some weird, stupid, sickenin manners
The pride of the common man / is floatin across the land again
While somebody’s doin big business with banners
Here comes the common man / bottle in hand
Right now at that moment he feels / the community of the land
There’s some foreign lookin cat / Buddy beats the sh** outta him
Cat don’t work, don’t speak the tongue / don’t even know the hymn!
Lately people got accustomed to some weird, stupid, sickenin manners
The pride of the common man / is floatin across the land again
While somebody’s doin big business with banners
Buddy got no job, no bread / but he sure gets his kicks
Out of the country / in the summer of Twenty-O-Six
Cheer & shout & shout & cheer / colour yer face
Shout & bob until ye drop / all over the market-place
Lately people got accustomed to some weird, stupid, sickenin manners
The pride of the common man / is floatin across the land again
While somebody’s doin big business with banners
Go make big steps, Buddy / but watch out ya don’t step outta line!
Listen to the authorities / everything’s gonna work out fine
Watch yer programs; read yer papers / for once you’ll get what ya choose
Go decorate the Ark with banners / fill her up with booze
Lately people got accustomed to some weird, stupid, sickenin manners
The pride of the common man / is floatin across the land again
While somebody’s doin big business with banners
Everybody’s prancin round in cadence / billion dollar bash
Yeah, just like each & every country’s proud of / its very own pile of trash
Country’s finally movin / away from the past
Been a long time a-comin / togetherness at last!
Lately people got accustomed to some weird, stupid, sickenin manners
The pride of the common man / is floatin across the land again
While somebody’s doin big business with banners
