Stay Calm

36 by forces charged with law and order. Stay Calm My sons My daughters This is Soft West Not Naughty West Take your humour rice ’way Humour rice In Soft West Is hazy dream An empty song A spice for vain talk Soft West And Naughty West Are twins, yes, twins But their difference’s clear Naughty West is steel Soft West Is biscuit Some bon-bon For the new-in-the-art So shut your mouths Humour rice In Soft West Is distant cry So don’t complain Just eat the shit 37 Take bon-bon and shut your mouths No! Take these ropes and hang yourselves No! What then do you really want, my head? Raise your voices Shout complaints And find yourselves surrounded by thugs March to the streets and demonstrate And get hot lead balls buried in your skulls Humour rice In Soft West Is taboo song A public march for your rice Is war against our fatherland Take to the streets and make your point And face a spray of hot lead balls Stay indoors to keep away And get a punch, a baton and a whip So take the ropes and hang yourselves Want to feel the red hot lead? No? Then I advise you shut your mouths! Street action’s strictly forbidden No complaints Just shut your mouths That was surely not for us We’ll bear some placards, boil in the streets The blind must read our message clear The deaf must get the lines verbatim We’ll shout and shout and shout and shout 38 No, take bon-bon and shut your mouths No! Take the ropes and hang yourselves No! Then stay calm and shut your mouths! Sh…!
