Banana Republic Lyrics - Mondo Bongo - Boomtown Rats

Banana Republic, Septic Isle 

Screamin' in the sufferin' sea, sounds like cryin' 

Everywhere I go, yeah everywhere I see 

The black and blue uniforms, Police and Priests 

And I wonder do you wonder while you're sleeping with your whore? 

Sharing beds with history is like a-licking runnin' sores 

Forty shades of green yeah, sixty shades of red 

Heroes going cheap these days, price a bullet in the head 

Banana Republic, Septic Isle 

Sufferin' in the screamin' sea, sounds like dyin' 

Everywhere I go, yeah everywhere I see 

The black and blue uniforms, Police and Priests 

Take your hand and lead you up a garden path 

Let me stand aside here and watch you pass 

Strikin' up a soldier's song, I know that tune 

It begs too many questions and answers too 

Banana Republic, Septic Isle 

Sufferin' in the screamin' sea, sounds like dyin' 

Everywhere I go, yeah everywhere I see 

The black and blue uniforms, Police and Priests 

The purple and the pinstripe they mutely shake their heads 

A silence shriekin' volumes violence worse than they condemn 

Stab you in the back yeah laughin' in your face 

Glad to see the place again, it's a pity nothing's changed 

Banana Republic, Septic Isle 

Sufferin' in the screamin' sea, sounds like dyin' 

Everywhere I go, yeah everywhere I see 

The black and blue uniforms, Police and Priests 

Banana Republic, Septic Isle 

Sufferin' in the screamin' sea, sounds like dyin' 

Everywhere I go, yeah everywhere I see 

The black and blue uniforms, Police and Priests 

Banana Republic, Septic Isle 

Sufferin' in the screamin' sea, sounds like cryin' 

Everywhere I go, yeah everywhere I see
