Lyrics

The partisans not the artisans
Are doing their dirty show
But I ripped my pants
Doing some dance
That I learned in France
And they think there ain't nothing to know
(Yeah, sure)
Oh, their used, abused
Locked up, beaten and fined
But I got free
I copped a plea
I can see that there ain't
No freedom bell
Gonna chime this time
Truth and love are my law and worship
Form and conscience are my manifestation and guide
Nature and peace are my shelter and companion
Order is my attitude
Beauty and perfection
Are my attack
False faces
Fast company
A night of thrills
With no jealousy
No poison
Nobody's tool
Will be a public fool
To manipulate the masses
Yeah, who lie and cheat
And eat their meat
And think it's sweet
While the rest all clean their glasses
In status classes
Barely knew, I barely knew, oh, no, no
