Toto Dies - Explicit Album Version

Lyrics

And when the dawn breaks through the drums start
 beating the morning to the farm
 your grimace widens and your lips part
 sounding the silent alarm
 and when the bells explode they scatter
 hitching a hand unto the breeze
 the grand bureaucracy grows fatter
 whistling the old melodies
 oh-ee-oh goes the Buckingham jewel guard
 oh-ee-oh goes the cop on the beat
 oh-ee-oh goes the kid in the schoolyard
 oh-ee-oh goes the kid on the street
 Hey man what's happenin' with you?
 I watched that episode too
 maybe I'll get some Chinese
 I'll have the dumplings
 no MSG please
 And when the night breaks through they wonder
 if all they lost was self-respect
 they pass the homes of greed and plunder
 still, ling'ring on, the disconnect
 oh-ee-oh sittin' down for the evening
 oh-ee-oh through the civil earthquake
 oh-ee-oh safe in bed and they're dreamin'
 heaven knows if they'll ever awake
 Yeah I'll have my coffee black
 hey look we're bombing Iraq
 I guess that's the only way
 oh did I tell you we got Fifi spayed?
 and when they get to work they hear drums
 the boom fills all the empty space
 they file papers lada-dee-dum
 trimming their shoebox with lace
 oh-ee-oh but there's somethin' a growin'
 oh-ee-oh through the bustle and hiss
 oh-ee-oh fuck the lawns that need mowin'
 oh-ee-oh there is somethin' amiss
 oh-ee-oh oh-ee-oh oh-ee-oh
 oh-ee-oh-ee-oh-ee-oh
