"Ballad Of Verdun Hayes" lyrics

"Ballad Of Verdun Hayes"

Everybody riot, control yourselves
Everybody riot, sit down please
Everybody riot, do as you're told
Everybody riot, you're far too old

Verdun Hayes jumps out of a plane

That man's a hundred and one
Still goin' strong
Does what he wants
He listens to no one

The man's a machine
Lean and he's mean
A thousand lives
Won't see what he's seen

No ball games, everybody riot
Compensation claims, everybody riot
Keep well back, everybody riot
The flowers attack

Everybody down
Hit the floor
My shoes are untied
Somebody write a report

Everybody back
Up on your feet
Everybody riot
Quietly

Verdun Hayes jumps out of a plane

That man's a hundred and one
Still goin' strong
Does what he wants
He listens to no one

The man's a machine
Lean and he's mean
A thousand lives
Won't see what he's seen

Health and safety sub section three stipulates no fun at all times
We're not here to ruin your party just here to make sure you're alright

Verdun Hayes jumps out of a plane
Verdun Hayes is at it again
Verdun, Verdun

That man's a hundred and one
Still goin' strong
Does what he wants
Listens to no one

The man's a machine
Lean and he's mean
A thousand lives
Won't see what he's seen

Do what you do, don't what you wanna don't
Be the king of it all if you want, if you want
(Whoa, whoa)
There's a world goin' on outside those doors, whoa, whoa
There's a world goin' on and it's yours, and it's yours
(Woah, woah)
(Woah)
(Woah, woah)
(Woah, woah)
(Wo-o-o-ah)
