Save The World, Get The Girl Song Lyrics
Save The World, Get The Girl by Roky Erickson From the Fiery pits of Camden Town,
To elephant and castle underground,
There ain't no teachers in the school,
They're all out hustlin' playin' pool.
The neighbours complain about the noise,
There's girls in labour with tory boys,
I say my prayers and go to bed,
And wake up with a horses head.
But if we lean on you, we are gonna fall,
When it's all for one, and one for... all.
I will save the world, I will get the girl,
I'll dismantle a ticking time bomb
With just one second to spare.
I will save the world, I will get the girl,
And you will all point up at the sky,
As I fly right through the air.
Mother earth is begging you to quit,
So you reach the moon and stick a flag in it,
Well I believe in the people of America,
But I still can't believe the terminator's the governor.
As the soldiers prepare for combat,
Someone asks do you want freedom fries with that?
We put the 'oops' back in troops now it seems to absurd,
But going to war, to prevent war,
Was the most stupid thing I ever heard.
I will save the world, I will get the girl,
I'll dismantle a ticking time bomb
With just one second to spare.
I will save the world, I will get the girl,
And you will all point up at the sky,
As I fly right through the air.
I'm a 20 something O.A.P,
I'm screaming at my TV,
Playing knockdown ginger, kiss me quick,
Karate chop and kung-fu kick.
I try to live a life that's full,
To keep my damage minimal,
But only the balief visits me,
And he never stays for a cup of tea...
But if we lean on you, we are gonna fall,
When it's all for one, and one for... all.
I will save the world, I will get the girl,
I'll dismantle a ticking time bomb
With just one second to spare.
I will save the world, I will get the girl,
And you will all point up at the sky,
As I fly right through the air.
