mOBSCENE
Lyrics:
[English]
Ladies and Gentlemen
We are the things of shapes to come
Your freedom's not free and dumb
This depression is great
The deformation age, they know my name
Waltzing to scum and base and married to the pain
Bang, we want it
Bang, we want it
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
You came to see the mobscene
I know it isn't your scene
It's better than a sex scene
And it's so fucking obscene, obscene, yeah
You want commitment?
Put on your best suit
Get your arms around me, now we're going down, down, down
You want commitment?
Put on your best suit
Get your arms around me, now we're going down, down, down
Be obscene
Be, be obscene
Be obscene, baby, not heard
The day that love opened our eyes
We watched the world end
We have high places but we have no friends
They told us sin's not good but we know it's great
War-time, full-frontal drugs, sex-tank armour plate
Bang, we want it
Bang, we want it
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
You came to see the mobscene
I know it isn't your scene
It's better than a sex scene
And it's so fucking obscene, obscene, yeah
You want commitment?
Put on your best suit
Get your arms around me, now we're going down, down, down
You want commitment?
Put on your best suit
Get your arms around me, now we're going down, down, down
Be obscene
Be, be obscene
Be obscene, baby, and not heard
Be obscene
Be, be obscene
Be obscene, baby, and not heard
...
You came to see the mobscene
I know it isn't your scence
It's better than a sex scene
And it's so fucking obscene, obscene, yeah
You want commitment?
Put on your best suit
Get your arms around me, now we're going down, down, down
You want commitment?
Put on your best suit
Get your arms around me, now we're going down, down, down
Ladies and gentlemen, be obscene
Be obscene, be, be obscene
Be obscene
Be, be obscene
Be obscene, baby, and not heard
Be obscene
Be, be obscene
Be obscene, baby, and not heard
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
...
