Screaming in the suffering sea Sounds like crying Everywhere I go, yeah Everywhere I see The black and blue uniforms Police and priests And I wonder do you wonder While you're sleeping with your whore Sharing beds with history Is like a licking running sores Forty shades of green, yeah Sixty shades of red Heroes going cheap these days Price, a bullet in the head Banana Republic Septic Isle Suffer in the screaming sea Sounds like dying Everywhere I go, yeah Everywhere I see The black and blue uniforms Police and priests Take your hand and lead you Up a garden path Let me stand aside here And watch you pass Striking up a soldier's song I know that tune It begs too many questions And answers too Banana Republic Septic Isle Suffer in the screaming sea Sounds like dying Everywhere I go, yeah Everywhere I see The black and blue uniforms Police and priests The purple and the pinstripe They mutely shake their heads A silence shrieking volumes Violence worse than the condemn Stab you in the back, yeah Laughing in your face Glad to see the place again It's a pity nothing's changed Banana Republic Septic Isle Suffer in the screaming sea Sounds like dying Everywhere I go, yea Everywhere I see The black and blue uniforms Police and priests
