Album: Beauty Stab Lyrics

Hey Citizen Lyrics

Here they come,

Slumming their way outta the Jacuzzi,

Well, I've lived in a slum, sugar plum,

Hit and run

And it did not amuse me

There they go,

Moving around on the radio,

Well I've been on that show,

Reap and sow, feed and grow

And it did not amuse me


Hey Citizen! Hey American!

Hey Russian! Hey Citizen!


Beauty stab,

When the good things in life

Have all grown bad,

The cat's out the bag

Smash and grab, burn the flag

And didn't it fool me throw it out,

It's not worth the paper it's written on

No ifs and buts,

Spending cuts, cheaper smut,

They say they could use me


All through summer,

There's no glamour in the slammer,

No glamour in the slammer,

Until you make a run

All through summer, the splendours 

Pretty slender

The splendours pretty slender

Until you make a run


Here they come,

Slumming their way out of the Jacuzzi,

Well I've lived in a slum, sugar plum,

Hit and run and it did not amuse me

There they go,

Grooving around on the radio

Well I've been on that show, reap and sow

Feed and grow, and it didn't amuse me


Hey villager! Hey Citizen!

Hey Countryman! Hey, now listen!

Hey Chinaman! Hey European!

Hey Russian! Hey American!

Hey Cowboy! Hey Indian!

Hey anyway! Hey, hey, hey Citizen!
