Chorus:
   Banana Republic
   Septic Isle
   Screaming in the suffering sea
   It sounds like crying
   Everywhere I go
   Everywhere I see
   The black and blue uniforms
   Police and priests
  
   And I wonder do you wonder
   While you're sleeping with your whore
   That sharing beds with history
   Is like a-licking running sores
   Forty shades of green yeah
   Sixty shades of red
   Heroes going cheap these days
   Price; a bullet in the head
  
   repeat chorus
  
   Take your hand and lead you
   Up a garden path
   Let me stand aside here
   And watch you pass
   Striking up a soldier's song
   I know that tune
   It begs too many questions
   And answers to,
  
   repeat chorus
  
   The purple and the pinstripe
   Mutely shake their heads
   A silense shrieking volumes
   A violence worse than the condemn
   Stab you in the back yeah
   Laughing in your face
   Glad to see the place again
   It's a pitty nothing's changed
  
   repeat chorus
