Big Audio Dynamite - Singapore lyrics

One, two, three, four! Stroke 1 'cause he sprayed a car They say give him the cane Sovereignity always goes too far And causes too much pain Stroke 4 live from Singapore They beat him 'till he's raw Stroke 4 live from Singapore Don't do it no more Stroke 2 'cause his hair's too long Like Jesus nailed to wood It's obvious that this is wrong And it does no good Stroke 4 live from Singapore They beat him 'till he's raw Stroke 4 live from Singapore Don't do it no more Stroke 3 'cause he chewed some gum And left it on the ground This struck me as really dumb There's still some brutes around Stroke 4 live from Singapore They beat him 'till he's raw Stroke 4 live from Singapore Don't do it no more Thinkin' of the other nine hundred and ninety nine I'm sorry it had to happen but there will come a time For the other nine hundred and ninety nine Stroke 4 live from Singapore They beat him 'till he's raw Stroke 4 live from Singapore Don't do it no more Stroke 4 live from Singapore They left him with a scar Stroke 4 live from Singapore You know who you are "If the future looks like anything, it looks like Singapore There are no homeless, there are no poor" "It's like Disneyland with the d**h penalty"
