Resident Reptile

Leather and Lace and gold and pearls
Trickle down the necks of the 7 foot girls
Rhinestones, demons, crystal champagne
Beat down the crowd with acid rain
Who's to say what's insane

Resident reptiles dressed in black
Resident reptiles, they've come back
Wonder if they ever went away
If nobody acts they're here to stay
Resident reptiles, resident reptiles, resident reptiles

Inflation, recession, land laid to waste
At the altar of the makers of taste
Speeding at night to meet the new Czar
Terror crossed skies, the truth slowly dawns
The centerfold spread of stock market porn.

Chorus

It's a bad time, bad boys, black cars
Country bled dry it's profits to reap
Awaken people fighting back from sleep
Fast suits, sharp cars through the street
You'll be wearing concrete

Chorus

Alternatives--Watch out for long neckties
They'll try to fill you up with lies
Cash talks and life is cheap
Almost enough to make you weep.
