Boot Stamping On A Human Face Forever

"Drop dead, it doesn't matter" she said "It only hurts when I laugh" she said Sometimes it's never a crime To spend the day in bed She made certain that the curtains were red To dream better by the light they would shed She leaned back, tilted her head This is what she said "You can't win, think it over again I can't win, look at the trouble I'm in We can't win, and we're stuck here together Yeah, I hope it will last forever" "Don't ever dare to hope" he said So I'm never let down too bad I know there's nowhere to go So I'll just stay here, instead He knew better than to pull at a thread They unravel like the thoughts in his head He looked out, it filled him with dread And this is what he said "You can't win, think it over again I can't win, look at the trouble I'm in We can't win, and we're stuck here together Yeah, I hope it will last forever" With good books and looks on their side And hearts burstin' with national pride They sang songs and went along for the ride And the other side complied They said, hey man, where do you reside? And could it be mother's superior lied? And is it possible too many have died? It's only natural to reply "You can't win, think it over again I can't win, look at the trouble I'm in We can't win, and we're stuck here together Yeah, I hope it will last forever"
