Chorus (twice)
B e b e b e b e
Come on turn it into hate turn it into hate
Send your little boys and girls to go and play in a giant sandbox
Put your movie stars on the cover of people for goin in for a detox
Let your happy-face news readers share a little joke
At the end of the nights transmission
Lets see the world through the eyes
Of some clown gonna make all of your decisions
Bridge 2
Well if you can sleep at night go ahead thats great
Its all been manufactured like the junk thats on your plate
Chorus repeat, then instrumental break, then intro repeat
Some of them lead the marching band suddenly theyre war heroes
Some of them fall in a foreign land suddenly theyre just zeroes
Some of us go back to sleep some of us learn to fear it
Theres a siren blowin in your heart you just dont want to hear it

Well if you can sleep at night go ahead thats all right
Ah just dont start a fight with anyone rich and white
Chorus repeat
B e b e b eb e
Turn it, turn it, turn it, turn it turn it into hate

Graham Parker is an English singer-songwriter born in London in 1950. After a decade of performing with local bands, in 1975 Stiff Records founder Dave Robinson put him together with guitarists Brinsley Schwarz and Martin Belmont, keyboardist Bob Andrews, bassist Andrew Bodnar and drummer Steve Goulding. The result was Graham Parker and the Rumour, a band that achieved considerable success throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Parker is known for his incisive songwriting and energetic performances, influenced by artists such as Elvis Costello and The Kinks. His most important albums include "Stick to Me", "The Mona Lisa's Sister" and "Squeezing Out Sparks".
