Lyrics
Welcome to the fifth edition
Welcome to the occupation, oh!
Don't tell me what to do with a dime
I'm a hybrid lady from a hybrid time, oh!
Back in the era of integrity
When a labor woman beat a celebrity, oh!
Don't tell me about your future shock fears
With a paranoid style, we've been here for years, oh!
Trying to hold on to the wisdom of the ages
When we couldn't even keep a fraction of our wages, oh!
Did you read the gossip? Did you hear the blather?
Did you do the dance of the absolute cadavers, oh!
Raged upon and raffled off, shopworn and exquisite
I am the world, the world itself come to pay you a visit
The past is underwritten, the past is unpredictable
The future's been stolen and you're stunned that he tricked you, oh!
You followed the dead, I followed the mummies
You followed the leader, I followed the money, oh!
In a country of insurgents, you can't win the West
With your fraudulent intent, oh!
Don't lecture me about what's wrong
With a paranoid style, we've been saying this all along, oh!
Raged upon and raffled off, shopworn and in tatters
We're absolutely baffled now, we're absolute cadavers
