lyrics

I think I’m kind of lucky but I don’t get out much
I can’t pretend I haven’t lost touch
I’m just a monkey at the bar tryin’ to get by
I’m a lover hey! I don’t wanna fight
Yeah I’m just another sucker and there’s one born everyday
Detectives in the park staking out the scene
Checking out my neighbours
Dancing to the new regime
The new regime
Now a brother don’t know he’s not right in his poor head
He’s running around rockin’ the late show
Pushing the law and crossing the border
Somebody put the monkey in the water
In January sharks swim faster than they can now in May
Sitting in the bathtub floatin’ down the gutter
You gotta keep your head up
Soakin’ in the new regime
The new regime
Rally ‘round the old flag marching with the brass band
Everybody loves a parade
Television brain wash 24/7
Just roll the tape again
A monumental shame
Hot silicon babe all pumped up
On horse pills running from the mall cops
When tear gas shells and rubber bullets
Shit gets real she got to get down!
She’ll run out of steam ‘round the ¼ mile anyway
Can’t get out of bed supermarket dread
Thinking ‘bout your holidays
Living in the new regime
The new regime
Everywhere that you go
Everything you know
Every drop of blood and sweat
What you want
What you get
Pouring in your heart and soul
Every piece of skin and bone
To every single bottom line
You’re worth your weight in gold
To the new regime
The new regime
