The Day the Politicians Died - The Magnetic Fields

Billions laughed and no one cried

The day the politicians died

Celebrations spread worldwide

The day the politicians died

Even their own mothers

Their own husbands and wives

Said, «Now all men are brothers»

Let’s get on with our lives

Billions laughed and no one cried

The day the politicians died

Celebrations spread worldwide

The day the politicians died

We’ve risen from the mud

We’re different from the beasts

We’ve got the taste for blood

So let’s eat all the priests

Billions laughed and no one cried

The day the politicians died

Celebrations spread worldwide

The day the politicians died

It’s all one big party now

'Cause all the politicians died
