Lyrics The Tiger Lillies

The Tiger Lillies

The news

Have you heard the news

going round the town

the freakshow’s shutting down

All of you freaks put on the shelves

in despair and anguish you will delve

Have you heard the news

the selfish gits

would rather lock you up than face it

Political correctness they do claim,

they’d rather have you locked up

you should be ashamed

Have you heard the news

you’re a disgrace flaunting

your deformities in their face

So you freaks no longer

to be shown, now locked up in hospitals

and mental homes

Have you heard the news

around this place they say

that the freakshow’s a disgrace

All of the freaks no longer on display

now in an institution to be locked away

Have you heard the news

you’re all locked up,

no longer normal people will be shocked

All those freaks lock them up,

so our normal citizens you don’t corrupt

Have you heard the news

perverters of young minds now each one of you

has had your time

They will not tolerate

the corruption that you bring normality

they reinstate out of this town freaks fling

Have you heard the news

going round the town

all of you freaks are to be put down!

News! News!
