In and out of shady places --- Walking on cold corners of the maze Following the trace you leave unwittingly I wanna be no Saboteur Oh, no, me no Saboteur Painted ducks across your landscape --- Happy in your domesticity (it don't come free) Misfortune, like a Sparrow Hawk, hangs over you Wanna be no Saboteur No, no, me no Saboteur Deepest regrets I humbly offer you As I cut into your life With clean precision, all is simplified --- Pa** the hat and pa** the knife By now you must be worried, wondering
Who is me and what lies behind my art I'm only removing broken sea-shells from the beach --- Oh, no, me no Saboteur There's at least one of me inside your ranks In your factory or school I anticipate a cleansing opportunity To take the horns by the bull History forever writing Pages to be cut or painted grey Or celebrated like Jesus in his Temple rage As he chased the money-men away I wanna be no Saboteur Be no, be no Saboteur
