Lyrics[]
- Here is the news:
- According to the latest world population survey,
- Figures have reached danger point, my god!
- London: 15 million 75 thousand.
- New York: 80 million.
- Paris: 15 million and 30.
- China: 1000 million.
- Billington-Spa: lots!
- My studies include exophagy
- I formed my own society
- To crush the power of fecundity
- The world will overpopulate
- Unless you claim infertility
- So who will buy a drink for me, your Messiah?
- We are not your friends
- We don't give a damn for what you're saying
- We're here to live our lives
- I propose to give the pill
- Free of charge to those that feel
- That they are not infertible
- The crops of few, the cattle gun
- There's only one way to linger on
- So who will buy a drink for me, your Messiah?
- We are not your friends
- We don't give a damn for what you're saying
- We're here to live our lives
- Achtung, achtung! These are your orders:
- Anyone found guilty of consuming more than their allotted amount of air
- Will be slaughtered and cremated.
- Only one cubic foot of air is allowed...
- I've prepared a document legalising mass abortion
- We will turn a blind eye to infanticide
- We are not your friends
- We don't give a damn for what you're saying
- We're here to live our lives
- You don't seem to hear me clear
- Do I talk above your sphere?
- Let me explain my project, dear
- Show you how I'll save the world
- Or let it die within the year
- Why do you look that way at me, your Messiah?
- We are not your friends
- We don't give a damn for what you're saying
- We're here to live our lives
- We are hungry men
- We don't give a damn for what you're saying
- We're here to eat you
