"Bite Your Tongue" lyrics

"Bite Your Tongue"

I accept your cookies I'm accepting them all
And that second hand smoke from kissing Lauren Bacall
I accept your politicians I accept your tax
I've accepted everything, man, I'm fucking relaxed

I don't condone bad things I condone what's nice
And if its really, really, good then I'm condoning it twice
And if it's really, really, good they let me pick up a mic
And if I'm really, really, good they let me sing what I like

And it's a lie that you like
You're singing lies that you like
You got to bite your tongue

Stop!
Wham bam, ain't it a scam
Afghanistan and Vietnam
I accept your battery tactics
Plasticine and plastics

Up north was raised on the bong-oh oh
Violence and kisses and cuddles
Mixed with some second-hand sadness
Embrace the Madness

I accept your limitations, I accept your pretence
And I accept it all completely though it makes no sense
And I accept that I've accepted something I don't like
You've accepted that I'm lying but its a lie that you like

I dig the lies that you like
It's a lie that you like
Must bite your tongue

Stop!
Wham bam, ain't it a scam
Afghanistan and Vietnam
I accept your battery tactics
Plasticine and plastics

Up north was raised on the bong-oh oh
Violence and kisses and cuddles
Mixed with some second-hand sadness
Embrace the Madness

Wham bam, ain't it a scam
Duran Duran is a Sirhan Sirhan
I accept your battery tactics
Plasticine and plastics
Up north was raised on the bong-oh oh
Violence and kisses and cuddles
Mixed with some second-hand sadness
Embrace the Madness
