janis ian - take no kissingers lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
the writer wrote
the singer sung
and they went broke
turned down by everyone
passed on by asylum
met by bmg
rca and mca
and finally the big three

[pre+chorus]
and the writer said, “i wish you’d hire me”
but you don’t like hearing the truth
it’s all i got left, along with my debts
and lack of youth”
[chorus]
she said, “take no chances” (take no)
“just tell lies” (tell no)
“sell your soul in compromise”
“take no chances” (take no)
“just tell lies
don’t ask me why”

[verse 2]
news spoke
the people gasped
the senate broke
while he was sittin’ on his big fat ass
promises of heaven
promises of h+ll
guess this god’s the only god
that you can buy and sell

[pre+chorus]
he said, “richard nixon’s a hero
and you’re just a communist stooge
so for the rest of your days, when you call out his name
he’ll be mr. d+ck to you”

[chorus]
he said, “take no kissingers” (take no prisoners)
“take their wives” (tell no lies)
“and while you’re at, please take mine”
“take no kissingers” (take no prisoners)
“just take mine”
sh+t, here’s the missing line
[spoken]
there’s no bass!
where’s the bass?
there’s no bass!
that’s me!

[guitar solo]

[pre+chorus]
and simon said, “why don’t you touch me?
reach out your hand just like this
you capture my soul, you can grab hold
and aim it while i p+ss!”

[chorus]
he said, “you’re my prisoner!” (take no)
“tell me lies!” (tell no)
“try this tutu on for size!”
“you’re my prisoner!” (take no prisoners)
“tell me lies
don’t ask me why”
don’t ask me why

[outro]
hey, i’m english
