Hostages 가사

Ugly duckling In the end you got a handsome coat You bought it with the royalties Off some anthems he once wrote But now you crave total control You'll blow the planet up if you don't get the vote I feel the earth's crust buckling Under the weight of your ransome note HOSTEGES! You're all hostages on earth You've been betrayed and you won't be tried It doesn't matter now who's wrong or who lied You're all hostages! You're all hostages from birth! You've got a tickin' bomb inside And you pretend you're just along for the ride His tunes sold billions They went uranium long ago You heard'em at school you heard'em at home They're the only songs you'll ever know So now he craves total control So he's been fixin' up a super gala show Sold out generations in advance He sold you out and you gotta go HOSTAGES! You're all hostages on earth You've been betrayed and you won't be tried It doesn't matter now who's wrong or who lied You're all hostages! You're all hostages from birth! You've got a tickin' bomb inside And you pretend you're just along for the ride Now the ugly duckling He got his beak in every ballot box In republics and kingdoms Protectorates, states and blocs But now he craves total control He's gonna fleece the preachers and them flocks He's gonna rip off all the hicks in the sticks All the Joneses, junkies and jocks HOSTAGES! You're all hostages on earth You've been betrayed and you won't be tried It doesn't matter now who's wrong or who lied You're all hostages! You're all hostages from birth! You've got a tickin' bomb inside And you pretend you're just along for the ride
