[Chorus]
Dm C
Banana Republic, Septic Isle
Dm C
Screaming in the Suffering sea, sounds like cry, cry, crying
Dm C
Everywhere I go yeah, Everywhere I see
Dm G
The black and blue uniforms, Police and priests
[Verse]
Dm C
And I wonder do you wonder While you're sleeping with your whore
Dm C
That sharing beds with history is like a-licking running sores
Dm C
Forty shades of green yeah, Sixty shades of red
Dm G
Heroes going cheap these days, Price: a bullet in the head
[Chorus]
Dm C
Banana Republic, Septic Isle
Dm C
Suffer in the Screaming sea, sounds like die, die, dying
Dm C
Everywhere I go yeah, Everywhere I see
Dm G
The black and blue uniforms, Police and priests
[Verse]
Dm C
Take your hand and lead you up a garden path
Dm C
Let me stand aside here and watch you pass
Dm C
Striking up a soldier's song, I know that tune
Dm G
It begs too many questions, and answers too
[Chorus]
Dm C
Banana Republic, Septic Isle
Dm C
Suffer in the Screaming sea, sounds like die, die, dying
Dm C
Everywhere I go yeah, Everywhere I see
Dm G
The black and blue uniforms, Police and priests
[Verse]
Dm C
The purple and the pinstripe They mutely shake their heads
Dm C
A silence shrieking volumes, A violence worse than they condemn
Dm C
Stab you in the back yeah, Laughing in your face
Dm G
Glad to see the place again - It's a pity nothing's changed
[Chorus]
Dm C
Banana Republic, Septic Isle
Dm C
Suffer in the Screaming sea, sounds like die, die, dying
Dm C
Everywhere I go yeah, Everywhere I see
Dm G
The black and blue uniforms, Police and priests (priests, priests, priests....)
