Chemical Warfare - Willy DeVille

Down in the Bodega, out in the street

Somebody wants a taste, everybody wants a piece

'Cause that’s chemical warfare

You hear it on the radio, you see it on TV

Another widow on the list, this you must believe

'Cause that’s chemical warfare

Now, Mr. President, he told me this traffic he gonna stop

Get rid of the indesirables by bringing in the cops

'Cause this is chemical warfare

Chemical warfare, this is chemical warfare

Chemical warfare, this is chemical warfare

Everybody knows a Johnny who just passed away

Big wheels count their dollars while the families count their prayers

Hey hey, hey hey, hey hey

Children with bright futures, smiles on their faces

Sink to the floor, tied off tight like the knots in their shoelaces

This is chemical warfare

Now, the politicians tell you they gonna stamp out this disease

Take out the trash, bring in the police

'Cause it’s chemical warfare, hey hey, chemical warfare

Chemical warfare, chemical warfare

Chemical warfare, hey you, lady

Everybody knows a Johnny who just passed away

Big wheels count their dollars while the families count their prayers

(Chemical warfare, chemical warfare, …)
