Dad's silly, dad's silly
Dead cities, dead cities
Dead sh*tty, dead sh*tty
Dead cities, dead cities
Disease, disease

Mercedes, Mercedes

Simon Weston's in a cell
With twenty horses getting on down
Bang a drum, seizure
Stop feeding me your onions
I'm getting wasted in this city
Those council houses are getting me down
Go up town see who's there
There's nothing to do it's getting me down
Simon Weston is a British Army veteran who was severely burned during the 1982 Falklands War, and went on do charity work.
Stalin's government is all around
Snarling and gobbing and falling around
The seas, the seas
Dead cities, dead cities
Tired of all your literature
There are no more secrets here
There's no future take me home
Simon Cowell, you dead man
See the man in the electric chair
They beat him up and shave his hair
There is no future to behold
In the city of dead you'll be there
