Why do they always send the poor?

Barbarisms by Barbara
With pointed heels
Victorious, victorious kneel
Brand new spankin' deals

Marching forward hypocritic and hypnotic computers
You depend on our protection
Yet you feed us lies from the tablecloth
La, la, la, oh

Everybody's going to the party
Have a real good time
Dancing in the desert
Blowing up the sunshine

Kneeling roses
Disappearing into Moses's dry mouth
Breaking into Fort Knox
Stealing our intentions

Hangers sitting dripped in oil, crying freedom
Handed to obsoletion
Still you feed us lies from the tablecloth
La, la, la, oh

Everybody's going to the party
Have a real good time
Dancing in the desert
Blowing up the sunshine

Everybody's going to the party
Have a real good time
Dancing in the desert
Blowing up the sunshine

Blast off, it's party time
And we don't live in a fascist nation
Blast off, it's party time
And where the fuck are you?

Where the fuck are you?
Where the fuck are you?
Why don't presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why don't presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor?

Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor?

Kneeling roses
Disappearing into moses' dry mouth
Breaking into Fort Knox
Stealing our intentions

Hangers sitting dripped in oil crying freedom
Handed to obsoletion
Still you feed us lies from the tablecloth
La, la, la, oh

Everybody's going to the party
Have a real good time
Dancing in the desert
Blowing up the sunshine

Everybody's going to the party
Have a real good time
Dancing in the desert
Blowing up the sunshine

Where the fuck are you?
Where the fuck are you?
Why don't presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why don't presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor?

Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor?

Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor?
They always send the poor
They always send the poor
