The Palace and the tax office are rent asunder

And the dogs and swine lord it over the corpses

And the officials are queuing for the first flight out

And the Palace and the Tax Office are rent asunder

Yeah verily the Palace and the Tax Office are rent asunder

 

And Papa Doc smiles from the beyond

And the undead rise and their places filled by the newly dead

And the lunatics are delivered from the asylum

And Papa Doc smiles from beyond

Yeah verily Papa Doc smiles from the beyond

For lo they did wreak it on themselves

And their devil worship did spawn many awful films

So the fundamentalists call upon the bible

Yeah verily the fundamentalists call upon the bible.

 

The laughter of the racketeers pervades the forest

For it is an ill wind that does not blow someone some good

With the price of rice and peas already soaring

So the laughter of the racketeers pervades the forest

Yeah verily the laughter of the racketeers pervades the forest.

 

Humphries is struggling with the answer

Yeah verily Humphries is struggling with the answer.

 

The Palace and the tax office are rent asunder

And the dogs and swine lord it over the corpses

And the officials are queuing for the first flight out

And the Palace and the Tax Office are rent asunder

Yeah verily the Palace and the Tax Office are rent asunder.
