The Lost Patrol

Stating the Obvious

The Lost Patrol


You want it I can see it 
Like a brick through a police-station window 
Never tasted anything that tasted this good, that tasted this good

This could be the sweet taste of passion 
This could be the divine flavor of revolution 
This could be the sweet taste of passion 
This could be the divine flavor of revolution

I want it it's so fucking obvious 
Like a mailbomb to our favorite co-operation 
A worthy exposure of 
Capitalist murder and exploitation 
A hand that touches that face that I can't wait to see smile 
Brake out in laughter and say: "Those fascist deserve to die!" 
"Those fascist ought to die!" 
"Those fascist ought to die!"

And I tell myself that this is pretty fucking dumb 
These words just trivialize and banalise 
And I tell myself that this is pretty fucking dumb 
How these words just trivialize and banalise

We've seen the ways, conservative and the lame 
Promised them that we shouldn't let this become 
Traditionalistic, silly and tame in any way 
We want it in so many ways 
Like a touch on the lip, a brick and a cocktail. 
And we will scream that they won't know and they won't know what hit them, what hit them

Smashed bank, a riot and a clenched fist 
A heartache, a classwar ended with a big kiss 
A smashed bank, a riot and a clenched fist 
A heartache, a classwar ended with a big kiss
