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

...
