Desolation Song by The Tiger Lillies Lyrics

They play on you like you’re a pipe
They play on you their greed and spite
They play on you a fool they say
Any tune they choose to play

|:There's nothing right, there's nothing wrong
It's just a desolation song:|

They play on you a marionette
They control you all is set
Pull the strings and watch you dance
You really didn't stand a chance

|:There's nothing right, there's nothing wrong
It's just a desolation song:|

If you were strong
If you could fight
If you could see
The day from night
If you could make out
White from black
Then they could not you attack
|:There's nothing right, there's nothing wrong
It's just a desolation song:|

You know they'll crucify you
You know that they will you screw
There's not a thing that you can do
They have got have got you

|:There's nothing right, there's nothing wrong
It's just a desolation song:|
