The Saudis are ever our friends and our allies
The President smokes cigars with their Princes on his lanai
And across the street a mother sleeps with her baby's ghost
Wrapped in pink and spotlights
If I was a tidal wave well you know that Id
Rise up and crash your castle gate and leave you high and dry
Disappear you down this trail of busted years to ride the rails
and goodbyes
Well my name is propaganda
And my mamas pain is propaganda
If I was a tidal wave
Id let the Union fall
Ya if I was a tidal wave
Cadd11*(hammer )*(hammer
)
Id be first against the wall
Cadd11* * (incorporate lead in)
2nd Verse: same as first
Back in 1980 Mayor Young he sent the key
To the city of Detroit to praise the best of enemies
Who shook hands with devil, now he runs the DOD
And spends lives
If I was a tidal wave well you know that Id
Rise up and crash your castle gate and leave you high and dry
Disappear you down this trail of busted years to ride the rails and goodbyes
If I was a tidal wave
From coast to coast Id scream
If I was a tidal wave
Cadd11*(hammer )*(hammer
)
Id wash this whole place clean
Well hope that helps feel free to email me with questions corrections or comments.
