Janis Ian – Murdering Stravinsky lyrics

We're murdering stravinsky Shooting at ravel Burying picasso, slaughtering caetano At the gates of hell We're bringing down the beatles Dylan and his pals We're working very hard To be the avante garde Murdering stravinsky We're bathing in the ashes Dancing in the coals Dressing up as fascists And selling out our souls Beauty is ugly And ugliness is king Pretty is useless Gorgeous and toothless Murdering stravinsky We're burning down the bible Tearing down the cross Drinking holy water, spitting in the gutter Watch your sons and daughters You'll be put upon the guillotine Under blood blue skies We're killing off the past To make the future fast Murdering stravinsky We're bathing in the ashes Dancing on the coals Dressing up as fascists And bankrupting our souls If beauty is ugly Then ugliness is king Pretty is useless Gorgeous and toothless Murdering stravinsky All gone All gone All gone And when the feast is over We'll dine upon each other You can be my sweetheart now You can be my sweetheart now You can be my sweetheart now Explain Request ×
