Centro-matic Flashes And Cables
if we found the time
if we found the merriment
if we found the words
we'd scratch them in new cement
but those days are gone
and we've got only pictures now
a rotary wheel
and some leftover shotgun shells
nobody told us that the bastards were here
all the rogues and the scoundrels
are shedding their tears
no, nobody told us
that the cameras were here
all the flashes and cables
won't someone please save us
so by our request
please turn in your uniforms
the medallions and pins
for the aries and capricorns
and file your complaints
with this rookie officer
he'll lend you a smile
he'll lend you his deafest ear
'cause nobody told us that the bastards were here
all the rogues and the scoundrels
are shedding their tears
no, nobody told us
that the cameras were here
all the flashes and cables
won't someone please save us
