Narcistic Dictators

Marcos and Imelda
The blind and the deaf
Bikers on a tandem
Tourists on a lonely island

I was drugged in Manilla
To get me walking
The 'March Against Drugs'
I felt like Diego Maradona

A sinner-saint
Protector of the poor
Then the great dictator came
And killed the march

Watch Imelda buy her shoes
Watch grumpy Marcos scream against TV
He's not learning he only communicates
With his tender following

"Why don't you watch?"
You've got to watch!
(Because I watch)
Then locked in cuffs

You have to watch
You MUST watch
While after a quarter
He fell asleep

Then you break the chains
While Marcos dreams
Of old successes
Or political junta

Whatever you bind on earth
Will be bound in heaven
Whatever you loose on earth
Will be loosed in heaven

But yeah a dictator
Is always better than a bad politician
At least it wasn't his fault
He had no dad

He doesn't know what confirmation is
And in the end you don't need one
Meanwhile Imelda's in fears
Overcoming her neurosis

It's gotta stop
Someone has got to give in
Or needs to go towards the middle
Of a dying earth
