Back In Rhodesia Lyrics by Dead Kennedys

Live at the Deaf Club

0

[Verse 1]
Have you been reading the morning papers?
The Cold War's coming back in style
And there's general's here, advisors there, and the Cuban intel everywhere
The Cold War's filling up with red, we make big bucks when we blow off their heads!
[Chorus]
They got ripped up, scared as blackness, time to go to war (Back in Rhodesia!)
Massive headlines in the papers, we want total war (Back in Rhodesia!)
[Verse 2]
Drooling fingers, panic button
They finally get to try new toys
The war's big bucks for embassy
We can't afford to lose another economic colony
Bring back the draft under our wing!
[Chorus 2]
Cuban oil and no more hotrods when we go to war (Back in Rhodesia!)
Massive headlines in the papers, we want total war (Back in Rhodesia!)
Call the army, call the Navy, time to play with guns (Back in Rhodesia!)
If they risk uneven battle and play rotten, we can play spy!
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
As soon as we have flexed our macho colonizer abs (Back in Rhodesia!)
We want oil and we need money drugging people
Back in Rhodesia
Back in Rhodesia!
