lyrics

A Penal Colony Please
For the scoundrels and the sleaze
A Penal Colony Please
For the psychopaths, egomaniacs
Politicians and CEOs
The preachers & gurus who use
Their gift of gab to fool you
And all other the power greedy bullies you know

Let's put them on a far away island
Where they can never ever escape
Where they can ply their trade and perpetrate their hate
And proclaim they are really great
Where they can scam and lie
Steal and kill, take an eye for an eye
And barbeque each other on the grill

A Penal Colony Please
For the scoundrels and the sleaze
Just say no, get up off your knees
Quit their cult of personality
Don't worship at their feet
Don't give them your money
Don't elect them to anything
Don't let them be your king

A Penal Colony Please
For the scoundrels and the sleaze
Don't put em in charge
Don't make em a star
Put em on a boat to the Colony
Where they can never escape
I hope we are not too late
Yeah, we can do this, let's make it happen
Say it with me, say it with now
A Penal Colony Please
For the scoundrels and the sleaze
