Lyrics
Kill The Poor
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Efficiency and progress is ours once more
Now that we have the neutron bomb
It's nice and quick and clean and gets things done
Away with excess enemy
With no less value to property
No sense in war but perfect sense at home
The Sun beams down on a brand new day
No more welfare tax to pay
Unsightly slums gone up in a flashing light
Jobless millions whisked away
At last we have more room to play
All systems go to kill the poor tonight
Gonna
Kill kill kill kill
Kill the poor tonight
Behold the sparkle of champagne
The crime rate's gone
Feel free again
O' life's a dream with you, miss Lily White
Jane fonda's on thre screen today
Convinced the liberals it's okay
So let's get dressed and dance away the night
