LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: BE AFRAID OF YOUR PARENTS/THE INDELICATES

It’s been a marvellous party with marvellous guests
We been discussing the decline of the decadent west
Over nibbles and wine we are disarmed and impressed
By the charming men in uniform
It’s been a wonderful evening we’ve exchanged our views
How the zionists doesn’t mean the jews
At no single step did we feel confused
By the charming men in uniform

Be afraid of your parents
Be afraid of their clever friends
I’ve read this book before
And darlin I can tell you how it ends
Be afraid of the line they teach you
Be afraid of the way it goes
You be amazed at what you can raise
To something everybody knows

We’ve read our Jacques Derrida, our Michel Foucault
We’ve averted our eyes from the atrocity show
It’s better to beat up on the devil that you know
Say the charming men in uniform
Give praise to the empty heaven above
I reject the sword and embrace the dove
I see the world suffused with love
And the charming men in uniform

Be afraid of your parents
Be afraid of their clever friends
I’ve read this book before
And darlin I can tell you how it ends
Be afraid of the line they teach you
Be afraid of the way it goes
You be amazed at what you can raise
To something everybody knows

Be afraid of your parents
Be afraid of their clever friends
I’ve read this book before
And honey I can tell you how it ends
Be afraid of the line they teach you
Be afraid of the way it goes
You’d be amazed at what you can raise
To something everybody knows
