Lyrics

THE FUNKY WESTERN CIVILIZATION, PHASE II
(Tonio K.)

let’s not twist again like we did last summer
let’s do something else; let’s have some real fun
let us continue to exploit and abuse one another
it’s time to do
phase two of the funky western civilization

politely kill the person on your right
kill the person to your left
kill everybody in sight
promenade and kill yourself

all of those babies died just as i suspected
it’s an election year; it’s time to buy another gun (bang bang)
i don’t know who’s drivin’ now, and i ain’t interested
it’s true, honey, it’s all true
there’s nothing you can do
except the funky western civilization

you gently kill the person on your right
kill the person to your left
kill everybody in sight
do-si-do and kill yourself

get down
get funky
get up
be quiet
behave
beehive
or if she could

joan of arc joan of arc joan of arc joan of arc if she could
would have said
something like this, she’d say:

you can bullshit the baker
and you can get the buns
you can back out of every deal except one

if you’ll just kill the person on your right
kill those people on your left
kill everybody in sight
levitate and kill yourself

kill the person on your right
kill those turkeys on your left
chances are they will not mind
do-si-do and kill yourself
