Banana republic


Chorus:
Banana Republic
Septic Isle
Screaming in the Suffering sea
It sounds like crying (crying, crying)
Everywhere I go, oh yeah
Everywhere I see
The black and blue uniforms
Police and priests

And I wonder do you wonder
While you're sleeping with your whore
That sharing beds with history
Is like a-licking running sores
Forty shades of green yeah
Sixty shades of red
Heroes going cheap these days
Price; a bullet in the head

Banana Republic
Septic Isle
Suffer in the Screaming sea
It sounds like dying (dying, dying)
Everywhere I go, oh yeah
Everywhere I see
The black and blue uniforms
Police and priests

Take your hand and lead you
Up a garden path
Let me stand aside here
And watch you pass
Striking up a soldier's song
I know that tune
It begs too many questions
And answers too

Banana Republic
Septic Isle
Suffer in the Screaming sea
It sounds like dying (dying, dying)
Everywhere I go, oh yeah
Everywhere I see
The black and blue uniforms
Police and priests

The purple and the pinstripe
Mutely shake their heads
A silense shrieking volumes
A violence worse than they condemn
Stab you in the back yeah
Laughing in your face
Glad to see the place again
It's a pity nothing's changed

Banana Republic
Septic Isle
Suffer in the Screaming sea
It sounds like dying
Everywhere I go
Everywhere I see
The black and blue uniforms
Police and priests

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

The Boomtown Rats are an Irish rock band formed in Dublin in 1975. The group is led by frontman and songwriter Bob Geldof, also known for his humanitarian work. The Boomtown Rats' music is characterized by energetic and melodic punk-rock sound, with often satirical and political lyrics. Among their most famous hits are "I Don't Like Mondays", "Rat Trap" and "The Boomtown Rats". In 1984, Geldof founded Band Aid, a supergroup of British and Irish artists who recorded the song "Do They Know It's Christmas?" to raise funds in aid of the famine in Ethiopia. The Boomtown Rats have sold millions of records worldwide and are considered one of the most influential rock bands of the 1970s and 1980s.
