Palace Brothers - For The Mekons Et Al. [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

S it time for you to settle down ?
Yet your tiredness and sadness keep my spirits up
And the guns and greed that is in your heart
Well, it's what a deputy lives for

O without you, o deputies exist
With no voice to broadcast feelings with
Ah, it's intuition, and it's luck and fear
Ah, confusion and age and sweat and beer

Well, if you won they'd be the new Mekons
O and you perhaps a myth bygone
No, they have something that they can see
O and history is there to serve our cause

It's memory and reality
O loyalty and idolatry
O money is growing on a tree
Picked up by aging little men

Deputies, o they will not rely
On individual unions
O imagination and open eyes
They're the new home militia

O executive branch in a nation of one
We'll exercise our power
O to veto, veto, veto
Be the man of the hour

Cause laws exist like history books
For Atlantis State University
And if you can forget how to ride a bike
Well, you've had a good teacher

O, and the words are there like a pretty picture
Just hanging on the bathroom wall
At age 16, you are stealing a mirror
And find a friend beside you

Well, say your piece incidentally
And pick a dancing partner
O and follow the steps and don't forget
That you can use it again later

O, if we drink we still think
And we wake up in the morning
Or we stay out all night long
Well, the righteous path is straight as an arrow
