American Apparel had a special on khaki
With a matching balaclava stitched in Northern Italy
Well it just got me thinking and I flashed my credit card
I must admit I might have been a trifle hard
I read the weather makers, read some Gandhi too
And I thought about the space that does exist 'tween me and you
Then I stole some high explosive from the coffin cheaters club
Then I vanished like a ninja to the scrub
I am the Decommissioner
Guilty of the worst sedition
Helicopters on my trail
I'm dancing like a hare krishna!
( X2)
Like Steve McQueen on my 250
O-er the compound fence
Well the blood had lifted to my head
My legs were in suspense
And I rammed a stick of jelly
'Neath the cooling towers wall
I crashed the boom gate as the bricks began to fall
I am the Decommissioner
Taking the extreme position
Taunting the police commissioner!
I am the Decommissioner
Guilty of the worst sedition
Service station cameras catch me
Chantin' like a hare krishna!
(Wacky instrumental high speed chase through Gippsland commences.While this occurs, play
open D for 4 bars)
Road blocks on all the highways
I slunk along the creeks
Soon joined by angry scientists
And some old Jesus freaks
Collecting strange disciples
We hatched a brand new plan
We started pre production
On a touring indie band!
We went up the freeway in our black tarago
Run on solar power
Decommissioning power stations
The cops close by the hour
Reviewers in their leather trench coats
Settin' up my buzz
Say I'll be famous if I just avoid the fuzz!
Oh Mr. Police Commissioner
Look at it from my position
Apocalypse is comin'
And I'm really a concerned parishioner
Acting on my own volition
Taking the extreme position
I'm tired of all this indecision!
