"The Dictator" lyrics

Catherine Graindorge & Iggy Pop Lyrics

"The Dictator"

When I was a little boy I remember the smiling head of Ike
And everything was gonna be alright
And I can remember the hysterical speaker at the patriotic boys assembly
And I remember the bloody head, handsome and dead of the president
I remember the beatings...
And I remember the sneering... the sneering...

The big dictator, he is coming soon
The big dictator, he is coming soon
He has magic to, turn a day to night
He has instinct to, crush the weak with might
He conjures Elvis who, was the people's king
He conjures Hitler now, fear is everything
And I'm sad, so sad...
I'm sad, so sad...

He will be your voice
His duty is to himself
Domination, clean and simple

The big dictator, he is coming soon...
He is strong and huge
The big dictator, he will break on through...
And I'm sad, so sad...
He will be your voice
I'm sad...
His duty is to himself
So sad
Domination
So sad
Clean and simple
Domination, domination, domination...
Clean it up
