Boomtown Rats Banana Republic Lyrics

Banana Republic, Septic Isle
Screamin' in the sufferin' sea, sounds like cryin'
Everywhere I go, yeah, everywhere I see
The black and blue uniforms, police and priests

And I wonder do you wonder while you're sleeping with your w____
Sharing beds with history is like a-licking runnin' sores
Forty shades of green, yeah, sixty shades of red
Heroes going cheap these days, price a bullet in the head

Banana Republic, Septic Isle
Sufferin' in the screamin' sea, sounds like dyin'
Everywhere I go, yeah, everywhere I see
The black and blue uniforms, police and priests

Take your hand and lead you up a garden path
Let me stand aside here and watch you pass
Strikin' up a soldier's song, I know that tune
It begs too many questions and answers too

Banana Republic, Septic Isle
Sufferin' in the screamin' sea, sounds like dyin'
Everywhere I go, yeah, everywhere I see
The black and blue uniforms, police and priests

The purple and the pinstripe, they mutely shake their heads
A silence shriekin' volumes, violence worse than they condemn
Stab you in the back, yeah, laughin' in your face
Glad to see the place again, it's a pity nothing's changed

Banana Republic, Septic Isle
Sufferin' in the screamin' sea, sounds like dyin'
Everywhere I go, yeah, everywhere I see
The black and blue uniforms, police and priests

Banana Republic, Septic Isle
Sufferin' in the screamin' sea, sounds like dyin'
Everywhere I go, yeah, everywhere I see
The black and blue uniforms, police and priests

Banana Republic, Septic Isle
Sufferin' in the screamin' sea, sounds like dyin'
Everywhere I go, yeah...
