Album: Disestablished 1980
One wrote songs that meant a lot to me
but his partner wrapped a Mini round a sycamore tree
and the other one is evil fascist torturing scum
but he lived to over ninety – the Reaper wouldn’t come
Scumball Pinochet should have got a ricochet
20th Century Boy should still be getting it on today
One met his Metal Guru at the age of twenty nine
While the other one grew old on torture and wine
It’s sixty years too short and it’s eighty years too long
and the Children Of The Revolution think it’s wrong!
Scumball Pinochet should have got a ricochet
20th Century Boy should still be getting it on today
They both had their heyday in 1973
One was The Groover who Loved To Boogie
The other killed thousands of people in Chile
And he lived to be old – that’s really bloody silly....
And the message from the government’s the really last straw
that a killer aged eighty’s not a killer any more
But one way or another he’s gone to meet his fate
And Telegram Sam says hell can’t wait....
