X-ray Spex Melancholy Lyrics

Melancholy Lyrics

My mother the cow who still feeds me now is being tortured

 Her son the bull who the fields should plough is being slaughtered

 The human child in the womb who is never born for being unwanted

 Melancholy in the Age of Kali

 Melancholy in the Age of Kali

 Kali Kali

 

 My mother, the earth, man treats like dirt, her resources being exhausted

 Ant-like astronauts, of the human race, scratch and scar the moon's beautiful
face

 My brother, the sun, he still shines on

 He'll continue to shine for some time to come

 Melancholy in the Age of Kali

 Melancholy in the Age of Kali

 Kali Kali

 

 Lamentation Lamentation Lamentation (repeat)

 

 Heavenly Father still waters the grains

 Seems like tears fall as it rains

 Little boy blue come blow on your horn

 The sheeps in the meadow the cows in the corn

 Oh sweet friend of mine from an ancient nursery rhyme

 From a distant land once upon a time

 

 Melancholy in the Age of Kali

 Melancholy in the Age of Kali

 Kali Kali
