Lemmy - Brave New World lyrics

[Verse 1] So this a new beginning as the new century dawns The world's a better place for you and me Shouldn't smoke or drink or watch that evil filthy p**n Be Christian and God will set you free But being poor is worse than having AIDS The homeless live in boxes at our feet Living in a constant state of dull, frustrated rage The innocent shot daily in the street [Chorus] Brave new world, brave new world, brave new world Brave new world, brave new world, brave new world [Verse 2] The government has always been your pal, as you well know Absolute corrupted power play If we all wipe each other out it only goes to show While the bureaucrats get richer by the day Smoking dope will get you more than murder one And even worse than statutory rape Don't understand your children so you send them all to jail Believe me, you will never make a worse mistake [Chorus] [Verse 3] The government is coming and it wants to be your friend It wants to show you how to be a snitch Inform upon your children, the inevitable end Is everyone a victim but the filthy f**ing rich? And religion, like the monster that it is Keeps telling you to turn the other cheek God is on your side, but I don't think that you're on His If Jesus showed up now, he'd be in jail by next week [Chorus] 2x
