Elvis Costello - Two Little Hitlers lyrics

Why are we racing to be so old? <br>I'm up late pacing the floor<br>I won't be told<br>You have your reservations<br>I'm bought and sold<br><br>I'll face the music<br>I'll face the facts<br>Even when we walk in polka dots and chequer slacks<br><br>Bowing and squawking<br>Running after titbits<br>Bobbing and squinting<br>Just like a nitwit<br><br>Two little hitlers will fight it out until<br>One little hitler does the other one's will<br>I will return<br>I will not burn<br>Down in the basement<br><br>I need my head examined<br>I need my eyes excited<br>I'd like to join the party<br>But I was not invited<br>You make a member of me<br>I'll be delighted<br><br>I wouldn't cry for lost souls, you might drown<br>Dirty words for dirty minds<br>Written in a toilet town<br><br>Dial me a valentine<br>She's a smooth operator<br>It's all so calculated<br>She's got a calculator<br>She's my soft touch typewriter<br>And I'm the great dictator<br><br>(chorus)<br><br>A simple game of self-respect<br>You flick a switch and the world goes off<br>Nobody jumps as you expect<br>I would have thought you would have had enough by now<br><br>You call selective dating<br>For some effective mating<br>I thought I'd let you down, dear<br>But you were just deflating<br><br>I knew right from the start<br>We'd end up hating<br>Pictures of the merchandise<br>Plastered on the wall<br>We can look so long as we don't have to talk at all<br><br>You say you'll never know him<br>He's an unnatural man<br>He doesn't want your pleasure<br>He wants as no one can<br>He wants to know the names of<br>All those he's better than<br><br>(chorus)<br><br>I will return<br>I will not burn<br>(repeats)
