Jarvis Cocker From Auschwitz To Ipswich Lyrics

From Auschwitz To Ipswich Lyrics

They want our way of life

Well, they can take mine any time they like

'Cos god knows I know I ain't living right

I'm wrong oh, I know I'm so wrong



So like the Roman Empire fell away

Let me tell you, we are going the same way

Ah, behold the decline and fall

All hold hands with our backs to the wall



It's the end, why don't you admit it?

It's the same from Auschwitz to Ipswich

Evil comes I know from not where

But if you take a look inside yourself

Maybe you'll find some in there



Not one single soul was saved

I was ordering an Indian takeaway

I was spared whilst others went to an early grave

Oh, got stoned, yeah, went out and got stoned



Well, if your ancestors could see standing there

They would gaze in wonder at your Frigidaire

They had to fight just to survive

So can't you do something with your life?



It's the end, why don't you admit it?

It's the same from Auschwitz to Ipswich

Evil comes I know from not where

But if you take a look inside yourself

Maybe you'll find some in there



Here it comes, why don't you embrace it?

You lack the guts needed to face it

Say goodbye to the way you've been living

You never realized you were on the wrong side, nobody's going to win



They want our way of life

Well, they can take mine any time they like
