Ciudadano Papagayo

Good boy, grab the stick, good boy
I love my job, I go to church, I’m a nice guy, a law-abiding citizen
And I use a good banana to stretch my ass when we talk about the king

I work like a dog to earn a pittance, babe, and I’m right-wing, you know
I impose the crucifix on my wife and kids, and I don’t join the strike

Oh! Clown
Oh! Papapapapaparrot, brainless fool
Oh! Papapapapaparrot, you don’t think
Oh! Papapapapaparrot, it makes me sick
You repeat like a parrot what they say on the TV

Oh! Papapapapaparrot, that’s how the state wants you
Oh! Papapapapaparrot, all cooked up
Oh! Papapapapaparrot, it makes me sick
Stand up for your executioner, surrender to the tamer
Oi! Oi!

Good boy

Tied to my mortgage, my taxes, my loans, and my private school fees
But I thank this lovely democracy for keeping me a well-educated slave

Disgust and pity I feel for the anti-system folks, babe, and I can’t stand the gays
And the South Americans and the Arabs ruin the decorum of my glorious country

Clown

Oh! Papapapapaparrot, brainless fool
Oh! Papapapapaparrot, you don’t think
Oh! Papapapapaparrot, it makes me sick
You repeat like a parrot what they say on the TV

Oh! Papapapapaparrot, that’s how the state wants you
Oh! Papapapapaparrot, all cooked up
Oh! Papapapapaparrot, it makes me sick
Stand up for your executioner, surrender to the tamer
You think there’s no other way, that nothing’s better

Who feeds your blindness, ask yourself who it is
Who feeds your misery, ask yourself who it is
Who feeds your demons, ask yourself who it is
Ask yourself who it is, ask yourself who it is
Who feeds your failure, ask yourself who it is
Who feeds your obedience, ask yourself who it is
Who reinforces your chains, ask yourself who it is
Ask yourself who it is, ask yourself who it is

Oh! Papapapa, oh papapapapa

Oh! Papapapapaparrot, brainless fool
Oh! Papapapapaparrot, you don’t think
Oh! Papapapapaparrot, it makes me sick
You repeat like a parrot what they say on the TV

Oh! Papapapapaparrot, that’s how the state wants you
Oh! Papapapapaparrot, all cooked up
Oh! Papapapapaparrot, it makes me sick
Stand up for your executioner, surrender to the tamer
You’ve become a funny parrot
You’re the prototype citizen against revolution.
