Momus – Buttfuckistan

From the album ‘MomusMcClymont Two‘ (2014).

Lyrics

You dream you see a nomad girl
Come riding backwards through the world
You take her in she’s come so far
You trade her camel for a car
You are her Valentino from
The love scene in The Desert Song
A place you can project upon
The whole world’s your Buttfuckistan

But now you wake and break your fast
And take your car and buy some gas
And drive to work and pay your tax
For embassies and diplomats
And governments who’ll spend it all
On fireworks to shock and awe

The backward backside of beyond
Is sliding back beneath your bombs
Into another Iron Age
Change the channel turn the page

What can you do if bombers fly
Fly through someone else’s sky
And rain down debt and rain down doubt
While people shout and run about?
People who don’t live like you
Can only fail to interest you
And things you cannot care about
Are things that only happen to

The backward backside of beyond
Is sliding back beneath your bombs
Into another Iron Age
So change the channel turn the page

And so you sleep and so you dream
And figures move across your screen
Refugees on rolling news
Drones and thrones and radios

But let’s get real and let’s get clear
What’s your motivation here?
Tell me why you’d even care
About Buttfuckistan when it’s
The Other

You dream you see a nomad girl
Come riding backwards through the world
You take her in she’s come so far
You trade her camel for a car
You are her Valentino from
The love scene in The Desert Song
(The whole world’s your Buttfuckistan)
A place you can project upon
The whole world’s your Buttfuckistan

The whole world’s your Buttfuckistan
The whole world’s your Buttfuckistan
The whole world’s your Buttfuckistan
The whole world’s your Buttfuckistan
The whole world’s your Buttfuckistan
