"Dyslexic Palindrome" lyrics

"Dyslexic Palindrome"
(feat. Hurray for the Riff Raff)

It's a billy club bruise that shattered your skin
They're breaking up the union to let the scabs in
It's a baseball bat to the back of your neck
Now you're nodding, yes
Cause they won't take no for an answer these days
There is a miracle drug for the disengaged age
If the mad men say it's all ok, they're lying

You can make up new meanings for the things that you're seeing
But it's a long, long, long, long way from known
In a Dyslexic Palindrome

When the blue of the night meets the bruise round her eye
It's painful and blooming
Shove the kids in the car, no you're not going far
But you gotta get moving
Take a pause from the show so the sponsors can crow
Put the tv on mute no one has to know
You can read the fine print that your lawyer decodes
When the racecar explodes
WOW!

You can make up new meanings for the things that you're feeling
But it's a long, long, long, long way from known
In a Dyslexic Palindrome

I'm seeing things upside down
I start at the ending now
A man, a plan, a canal, napalm
Dyslexic Palindrome
