Teléfonos / White Trash

Lyrics

Night is down in insect town
 ♪
 I'm sitting here glued to the glowing tube
 Tedious, tedium, is flowing slow
 About the crying for something I could really use
 ♪
 We're worker ants, or we're ants with wings?
 Saying "God I'm high" or "Christ, I'm late"
 Asking girls and women
 Won't you show me the way?
 To, crumple sheets and naughtier things
 But it's sad, it's so sad
 Old people shouldn't take it quite so bad, I know
 But it's sad, sad, sad
 Well the sadness of a long dead star on late night TV
 The sadness of shooting away your bloom
 And of old crumpled men in their workday suits
 And telephones ringing in empty rooms
 
 All the birs have flown from the pocket town
 
 And a family I know, has built an ark
 It's been raining long in a steady flow
 And newspaper headlines read bad and stark
 It's sad, it's so sad
 ♪
 Old people never had it quite so bad
 ♪
 And it's sad, sad, sad
 ♪
 Well the sadness of a long dead star on late night TV
 The sadness of shooting away your bloom
 And of old crumpled men in their workday suits
 And telephones ringing in empty rooms, okey
 ♪

 I said, people of Babylon
 Well if you wanna be wrong, you've gotta be strong
 Cause if you don't you fall down, down, down
 Well, you bite the hands that feeds you
 Spit in the face of those who need you
 Don't you know when you're old, who is gonna feed you, when you're on your own?
 I hear my black brothers tell me every day
 About how they've been put down in so many ways
 Well, don't you know rasta?
 We've been treated just the same way
 I look around and all I see is
 White trash in a Babylon
 White trash in a London
 White trash right here in Buenos Aires town, yeah
 White Trash in a rich man
 White Trash in a Babylon
 White Trash, were we're living, Hurlingham, Hurlingham! Yeah!

 People of the Argentine
 You easy eat your meet everyday
 You're looking so fine
 Don't you know what's happening to
 You're going down all the time
 Cause you bite the hand that feeds you
 Spit in the face of those who need you
 Don't you know when you're old, who is gonna feed you, when you're on your own?
 I hear my black brothers tell me everday
 About how they been put down in a so many ways
 Don't you know rasta?
 Some of us been treated in just the same way
 I look around and all I see is
 White Trash, in a Babylon
 White Trash, in a London
 White Trash, acá! in Buenos Aires town!, you better belive it
 White Trash, in a fishingskid
 White Trash, in a Twinkcenham
 White Trash, were we're living, Hurlingham, c'mon baby, Hurlingham! Yeah!
