lyrics

There’s a stink down in the subway and it’s catching on the breeze.
They’ve done a travis bickle, and they’re training the draftees.
To go and waste those towlheads, a blind grudge to appease.
As the poets all are waxing, nostalgic over sleaze.
Sleaze, sleaze.

There’s no sperm on the turn style, no girl on her knees.
They’re not casting for bukkake in the garden of disease.
Where are all the vice dens? And porn queens on the teaze?
Now it’s all gone Disney, baby buggies and S.U.V.’s

There is no paranoia, just plastic and deep freeze.
The golden age of scum is gone, there is no filth to seize.
Or sleaze, sleaze, sleaze.

The cockroach population is feeling the squeeze.
They’ve moved their operation to the upper nineties.
They’ve gone the way of lovelace, soiled velvet, theater fleas, wolf tickets and night hawks, C.B.G.B.'s, whores and sleaze.
Sleaze, sleaze.

So, what have we lost here? And what have we gained?
They call it ‘swings and roundabouts’ and it‘s coming round again.
And again and again and again and again. Yeah, it’s coming round again.

If you’re gonna use the service, you gotta pay the fees.
Come the revolution they’ll be looting flat T.V.’s.
To the politician parasites and turn coat rat trusties.
The time is ripe for hypocrites and the passing of the keys.
Green backs in the pockets of the fat cats and big cheese.
They say the heat’s all over it but cops turn blind to please.
Those who pay their wages yet they’re dusting off their knees.
And rounding up the suspects branded "detainees".
So define "sleaze".
Sleaze. (x8)
