The Fatima Mansions - Chemical Cosh lyrics

Alcoholherointhc

Care in the impotent (numb) community*

Resignationironyunder scrutinyso events can slip

From memory of historya voluntary dictatorship

Chemical (cosh!)

One kind for the richand one for the poor

The only distinction is the thickness of their front door

Unless it makes you act upthe law won't mind

You play this gamethe land is yoursthe warden is blind

Chemical (cosh!)

Chemical (cosh!)

It's the only kind we got (cosh!)

If you won't come across

They will have it known you're mad if you don't fit (with) their equation

They will have you for not being rich or body-tax evasion

And they'll pay some stoned stockbroker's son

To phone and say"i'm coming 'round and bringing my machine gun!"
