Resident Reptile

Leather and Lace and gold and pearls

Trickle down the necks of the 7 foot girls

Rhinestones, demons, crystal champagne

Beat down the crowd with acid rain

Who's to say what's insane

Resident reptiles dressed in black

Resident reptiles, they've come back

Wonder if they ever went away

If nobody acts they're here to stay

Resident reptiles, resident reptiles, resident reptiles

Inflation, recession, land laid to waste

At the altar of the makers of taste

Speeding at night to meet the new Czar

Terror crossed skies, the truth slowly dawns

The centerfold spread of stock market porn.

Chorus

It's a bad time, bad boys, black cars

Country bled dry it's profits to reap

Awaken people fighting back from sleep

Fast suits, sharp cars through the street

You'll be wearing concrete

Chorus

Alternatives--Watch out for long neckties

           They'll try to fill you up with lies

           Cash talks and life is cheap

           Almost enough to make you weep.
