The villagers are out tonight
Uptight and bored
They're pushing you
Underground
On wintry days they stand and gaze
Outlines in black and ignorant
Villagers
Dark shadows house a sleepy malice
In the backbrain
Of every body you meet
Man is the village animal
United by the glue
Of our loathsome qualities
We are sneaking peeping toms
In revolt against each other
The villagers are most insane
They live to die anonymous
And muted to... Villagers
In revolt against the other
But not against the rules
So in the space age the village idiot rules
On tv for all to see while some good men
Walk the streets
Unh unh unh unh unh
The villagersssssss arghhh
You can't get lost you can't get lost
In the village of space you can't get lost
Pop/du prey The villagers are out tonight Uptight and bored They're pushing you Underground On wintry days they stand and gaze Outlines in black and ignorant Villagers Dark shadows house a sleepy malice In the backbrain Of every body you meet Man is the village animal United by the glue Of our loathsome qualities We are sneaking peeping toms In revolt against each other The villagers are most insane They live to die anonymous And muted to... Villagers In revolt against the other But not against the rules So in the space age the village idiot rules On tv for all to see while some good men Walk the streets Unh unh unh unh unh The villagersssssss arghhh You can't get lost you can't get lost In the village of space you can't get lost Explain Request ×
