[Verse 1]
They talked to the sister
The father and the mother
With a microphone in one hand
And a checkbook in the other
And the camera noses in to the tears on her face
The tears on her face, the tears on her face
You can put them back together
With your paper and paste

[Chorus]
Stick out your tongue (Stick out your tongue)
Drink down the venom

[Verse 2]
She sleeps with the shirt of a late, great country singer
Stretched out upon her poor jealous husband's pillow
In time you can turn these obsessions into careers
While the parents of those kidnapped children
Start the bidding for their tears

[Chorus]
What would you say? What would you do?
Children and animals two by two
Give me the needle, give me the rope
We're gonna melt them down for pills and soap
[Verse 3]
Four and twenty crowbars, jemmy your desire
Out of the frying pan, into the fire
The king is in the counting house, some folk have all the might
And majesty will run on Bombay gin and German spite
They come from lovely people (They come from lovely people)
They come from lovely people (They come from lovely people)
With a hard line in hypocrisy
There are tears of mediocrity
For the fag ends of the aristocracy

[Chorus]
What would you say? What would you do?
Children and animals two by two
Give me the needle, give me the rope
We're gonna melt them down for pills and soap
Stick out your tongue, stick out your tongue
Stick out your tongue, stick out your tongue, drink down the venom

[Verse 3]
The sugar-coated pill is getting bitterer still (Stick out your tongue)
You think your country needs you but you know it never will (Stick out your tongue)
So pack up your troubles in a stolen handbag (Stick out your tongue)
Don't dilly dally boys, rally 'round the flag
Give us our daily bread, give us our daily bread
In individual slices, in individual slices
And something in the daily rag to cancel any crisis
[Chorus]
What would you say? What would you do? (Did you find out how to lie?)
Children and animals two by two (Did you find out how to cheat?)
Give me the needle (The elite bleat, they're obsolete)
We're gonna melt them down for (Stick out your tongue)
Stick out your tongue

[Outro]
Now if you'd only genuflect
Now if you'd only genuflect
Stick out your tongue (Stick out your tongue)
Now if you'd only genuflect (Stick out your tongue)
Stick out your tongue (Stick out your tongue)
Stick out your tongue (Stick out your tongue)
