THE LADY ZERO PROTEST SHOW

WATCH YOUR LIFE COUNTING DOWN ON TV
ALL COVERED ON RADIO
WRITE YOURSELF A LETTER TO THE EDITORS TELL 'EM HOW BAD
IS EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING ON

IT WONT MAKE YOUR LIFE ANY MORE BEAUTIFUL
IT WONT MAKE YOUR GUT VINDICATED OR YOUR SLEEPY NIGHT MORE FULL

BUT WRITE A LETTER TO THE LADY O
MAYBE TRY WRITE A LETTER TO THE RADIO

MAYBE HER SONGS WILL TAKE US PLACES
THAT OUR QUIET MINDS GO

IT WONT MAKE YOU ANY RICHER NO
WON'T MAKE YOU ANY TALLER
YOU CAN SPEND YOUR LIFE ON THAT FENCE
BUT IT WONT SAVE YOU FROM THE SLAUGHTER

BUT WRITE A LETTER TO YOUR RADIO
TELL EM YOU WANNA HEAR THE SONGS THAT MAKE THE PEACE EXPLODE

AND TELL HER YOUR SAD
TELL HER YOUR ABHORRED MAN
WE GOT BAYONETS IN BABIES IN AFRICA

WRITE A LETTER TO YOUR MAMMA TELL HER YOUR SCARED
'COS YOUR LIVIN IN A CRAZY CORRUPT HELL
SHOULD BE IN LOVE AND LIVING OUT YOUR DREAMS
WHILE YOU ARE STILL YOUNG BUT YOUR LOOKING DOWN A BARREL

SO PROUD THOUGHT WE WERE GETTING CLEVERER
MAYBE JUST NEED A LITTLE LONGER
IF WE STOP WORKING HARD ON THAT FENCE
MAYBE WE'LL GET A PARADISE TO GO

THIS IS THE LADY ZERO PROTEST SHOW - WELCOME TO YOUR LIFE - LIVE FROM EARTH
LAY DOWN YOUR ARMS - OPEN YOUR ARMS - SMILE AT YOUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS
THE SMILE THAT SHOWS THAT YOU KNOW THE LADY ZERO PROTEST SHOW

LADY OH

AND WRITE A LETTER TO YOUR GOD YEAH
AND PRAY THE PEACE EXPLODES YEAH
SOMEONE TO LEAD US OUT THIS NIGHTMARE
BEFORE ITS ALL TOO TORN.
