Have you seen your beauty
squatting in the dirt ?
have you seen the blind man
adding up your colours
for what they're worth ?
Have you seen your good friend
with his hands in your bag
have you seen him grinning
taking out and folding
your bloody rags ?
Pain is a business
like Easter and Christmas
I gues I went broke
for I wept as I woke
Jealousy traps you
its cunning is fake
love's one step on
but so much harder to take
have you heard the good news ?
the pope has just gone mad
got drunk with Chairman Mao
but then they just said "Ciao"
and still felt sad
Have you heard the flipping
of the mailbox-lid ?
they felt they had to stop all this
so they were serving notice
to the P.R. Kid
Pain is a business etc.
Power-trips trap you
their cunning is fake
love's one step on
and so much more fun to make.
1976
