John Cale - Sabotage lyrics

Life is short and love is very sweet

Look at all the people running from their lives in the street

What're they running from?

What are they running from?

Well, God, damn it, ask them

I wanna know, too

Read and destroy everything you read in the press

Read and destroy everything you read in books

It's a waste of time

It's a waste of energy

It's a waste of paper

And it's a waste of ink

Whatever you read in the books, leave it there

The word for it is:

Sabotage, sabotage

Sabotage, sabotage

The military intelligence isn't what it used to be

So waht, human intelligence what it used to be either

It's a rising expectation

It's a rising of the tide

The wards will discharge all their patients in teh streets

Are they hurt again? They are mine, yeah, murderer

Sabotage, sabotage, sabotage
