Treachery

(Damerell, Sheppard, Mobbs, Dunn)

I've finally acquired poison resistance
After many years of Hell.
A thousand hours of seeing your face
Has made me not very well.

Life is not what I hoped it would be,
When I first looked up at the sun;
It left on my retina a weird purple blotch -
Existentialism's not much fun.

My life you've betrayed me...
My life you've betrayed me...
My life you've betrayed me...

I'm living a life of polystyrene,
A chemical vision of you.
The bonds, chains, and bridges are burning away,
The sky is red and the grass is blue.

I just cannot parse the language you speak
And you'll never understand me.
Because I am German and you're Slovakian;
I'll just invade your country.

My life you've betrayed me...
My life you've betrayed me...
My life you've betrayed me...

My guns and my cannons are scarring your land,
I'll plunder your house for coffee.
I'll leave the shrapnel of my heart,
But your troops can't shoot for toffee.

Although your house is avant-garde,
And your taste distinctly odd,
I'll strip it clean and blow it up
And poke you with my rod.

My betrayal's life to me...
My betrayal's life to me...
My betrayal's life to me...

And then they came and took me out -
The men of doom and malice -
Destroyed my life, removed my sense,
Gave me the poisoned chalice.

My betrayal's life to me...
My betrayal's life to me...
My betrayal's life to me...
