Slag Aid Lyrics - Chumbawamba

This is the last one 

Organize, occupy, kick the bastards out 

Don't wear the gold lame 

In keeping with the fashion for charity, not change 

Here's out contribution, we've called it Slag Aid 

For every pop star that we slag off today 

Twenty-five million pounds will be given away 

Paul McCartney, come on down 

With crocodile tears to irrigate this ground 

Make of Somalia a fertile paradise 

Where everyone sings Beatles songs, buys shares in EMI 

A and M 

Axel Rose, this is your life 

Thank the Lord that you were born white 

And thank MTV for this wonderful opportunity 

To peddle your hypocrisy 

David Bowie, the price is right 

With a suit full of compassion and a gob full of shit 

Still the voices of those who doubt 

Coca-Cola for the peasants 

And Michael Jackson, game for a laugh 

Dancing us down the garden path 

To Beverly Hills nine oh one oh, you know, you know 

Fill the world with silver media 

Ladies and Gentlemen, our special guest tonight 

He's come all the way, put your hands together for Mr. John Lydon 

AKA Johnny Rotten he's got a new book out 

No McLaren, no Matlock, no Dignity 

Well, we got a surprise for him tonight 

'Cause we're gonna do the business 

And we take no prisoners 

'Cause we got the hammer and we got the nails 

We got the hammer and we got the nails 

We got the hammer and we got the nails 

And the two pieces of wood 

Put 'em together, folks and what have we got? 

Tonight, live in Leeds, in city square 

We've got the two pieces of wood sitting up 

You see him hanging there 

He's upside down, nice little twist 

Because we're gonna nail Mr. Light on right up 

To that cross and leave him hanging there 

Till the vultures come down 

And pick his eyes off his can, yeah, yeah, yeah 

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 

Ha ha ha ha 

Ha ha ha ha 

Ladies and gentlemen, you've been so good 

Thank you, on next week's show, the man upstairs 

And have we got a bone to pick with him 

Adieu, thank you very much, thanks a lot 

Cheers, ta
