Ballad Of J.J. Decay

Anti-Nowhere League

Well, gather around now, you boys and listen to the man 
He says we've fought divided but united we will stand 
We'll sacrifice the older ones, they're living in the past 
We'll burn up their religions and we'll all be free at last 

We'll put a hat upon his head and then we'll call him God 
And then we'll share our health in him like peas do in a pod 
This is the story of a man with a future in his head 
But no one ever listens to him when he's dead 

We're all getting older 
The light is on and bolder 
We're all getting older, decay 

We'll follow him throughout the land obeying his command 
We'll dance a sort of hatred that we think we understand 
The children came a-running from their houses of decay 
And laid the trust upon a fool who found a better way 

He preach the words of wisdom with his hands and with his mouth 
Then everyone believed him and then he believed himself 
This is the story of a man with a future in his head 
But no one ever listens to him when he's dead 

We're all getting older 
The light is on and bolder 
We're all getting older, decay 

This morning I had another talk 
With the German chancellor, Herr Hitler 
Here is the paper which bears 
His name upon it as well as mine 

We regard the agreement signed last night 
As symbolic of the desire of our two peoples 
Never to go to war with one another again 

We're all getting older 
The light is on and bolder 
We're all getting older, decay 

The year had come and gone and everyone began to see 
Why did we follow such a fool in such a mindless way? 
Let's turn our hatred to this man, we know he's just a fraud 
We crucify him with the rest and find another God 

How many times have you heard someone is coming here to say 
That from your hell on earth that you will love until your grave 
This is the story of a man with nothing in his head 
And no one's gonna listen to you when you're dead 

We're all getting older 
The light is on and bolder 
We're all getting older 
We're all getting older 

We're all getting older 
We're all getting older 
We're all getting older 
We're all getting older 
We're all getting older
