[Verse 1]
The Goddess of Democracy
Arrived a little bit late
But she danced with flair across the square
Outside the palace gate
Her hair piled high into the sky
On bruised and bloody toes
She bared her breast and cried aloud:
"Sometimes that's how it goes"
[Verse 2]
The Goddess of Democracy
She really showed some nerve
Callin' out her old lover hypocrisy
With these immortal words:
All we need are hearts to bleed
And a fresh new coat of paint
So let's all drink to Socrates
And get wasted with the saints
[Chorus]
Talk about freedom boys
Wouldn't you love to have some now?
When you gonna make that choice
The golden calf or the sacred cow? (Sacred cow)
[Verse 3]
The paranoia prophesy
Require we sedate
So I hid my dreams and my memories
Before it got too late
I won't deny I like to cry
I guess it was her fate
The Goddess of Democracy burning at the stake
[Chorus]
Talk about freedom boys
Wouldn't you love to have some now
When you gonna make the choice
The golden calf or the sacred cow? (Sacred cow)
[Verse 4]
The Goddess of Democracy was bound to take a fall
She almost landed on top of me
Crown of thorns and all
She blew a kiss then shook her fist
And danced into the flames
Saying, "Follow me I'm Democracy
And I'll be back again" (I'll be back again)
I'll be back again (I'll be back, I'll be back again)
(I'm Democracy, oh)
