LYRICS

I WANNA LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE THERE'S A LEFT WING BATMAN
and he would fight crime in his unbeatable way
throwing batarangs at villains all night and day
but the villain wouldn't be the scarecrow
no, the villain would be tabloid newspapers that try to prevent you to know what the fuck is going on

I WANNA LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE THERE'S A LEFT WING BATMAN
but the villain wouldn't be the riddler
no, the villain would be an idiot US president that overuses twitter
to spray his hate/shit around

I WANNA LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE THERE'S A LEFT WING BATMAN
but the villain wouldn't be the joker
no the villain would be rich ass arms dealers playing cynical poker game with human lives

I WANNA LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE THERE'S A LEFT WING BATMAN
but the villain wouldn't be mr. freeze
no, the villain would be pharmaceutical companies celebrating a vicious disease because it saves their jobs

I WANNA LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE THERE'S A LEFT WING BATMAN
but the villain wouldn't be poison ivy
no, the villain would be every snobby costumer to arrogant to ask nicely for a second cup of coffee

throw that batarang, man
that guy don't seem to understand
that that waitress has got it just as hard as he does

„[...] ungeschliffene, gestochen scharf auf den Punkt kommende, englischsprachige
Songminitaturen voll von schrägem Humor und bitterbösen Weltbetrachtungen, die schlecht
gestimmte Gitarre schnörkellos rudimentär, die Stimme ein wütendes Knurren, kaum ein Lied
länger als zweieinhalb Minuten. Wunderbar!“ (NN)

"Schräger Antifolk mit Bart, Klampfe und Mundharmonika. Zum Verlieben!" (A&F) ... more
