Elvis Costello - 20% Amnesia Lyrics

Send "20% Amnesia" ringtone to your cell

"What is your destiny?" the policewoman said

(20% amnesia)

The word that she wanted was destination I'm afraid

(20% amnesia)

This is your future boy this is your fate

(20% amnesia)

And you're obsolete and they can't afford to educate you

(20% amnesia)

In his bedtime Bootboy jersey

Ringin' up some fantasy tart

Give me strength or give me mercy

Life intimidates art

Give me strength or give me mercy

Don't let me lose heart

From rage to anesthesia

20% amnesia

Were you passed out on the sofa

(20% amnesia)

While justice is bartered by a drunken oaf?

(20% amnesia)

This is all your glorious country thinks of your life

(20% amnesia)

Stripped Jack naked with a Stanley knife

(20% amnesia)

So the German Queen went home again

But she couldn't find forgiveness

They made a fist of her hand of friendship

That is only business

Give me strength or give me mercy

Don't let me lose heart

From rage to anesthesia

20% amnesia

The wine you drink has never seen a grape

And now your sci-fi suit has lost its shape

But it's a dangerous game that comedy plays

Sometimes it tells you the truth sometimes it delays it

Think back think back if you still can

When the trumpet soundin' and the world began

Somebody said we must have won

So they started burying the bogeyman

Mr.Gorbachev came cap in hand

(20% amnesia)

From a bankrupt land to a bankrupt land

(20% amnesia)

Mr.Gorbachev and some other fella

(20% amnesia)

Were taken to a show called 'Cinderella'

(20% amnesia)

It wasn't an accident it wasn't a mystery

(20% amnesia)

It was calculated and the rest is history

(20% amnesia)

You don't have to listen to me

That's the triumph of free will

There are promises to break

And dreams to kill

Give me strength or give me mercy

Don't let me lose heart

From rage to anesthesia

20% amnesia
