lyrics

Colonel John

Colonel John and Corporal Ron played golf all summer that the war was on and now it's gone
Leaders we respected were elected and rejected all the marching songs
the government started doing their jobs and the wars were gone and everyone got three plates a day
they set up compost refuse toilets
started hemp farms and threw the national debt away.

They didn't want to end the world the government the government became our pals
big brother wasn't watching us he was winking at little brother's gal
nobody could tell what all that ancient old fuss and war was for
good thing there ain't no money now
because nobody is rich and nobody is poor.

(chorus)
Let the gas stations run dry
let's walk and meet some friends
let's shoot out all the TV's
stop eating all the trends
get to know all of the people
instead of hiding in a box
now that money is bullshit
I guess it's us who talks.

Colonel John and Corporal Ron ain't got no job but now they've got it paid
they got water supplied and food supplied to subsidise the sacrifices that they made
all the lawyers, men with hats, and dimplomats
have lost their islands in the sun
so the rest of us can farm the land and tear down the walls they built around everyone.

(chorus x3)
