Murdering Stravinsky

Murdering Stravinsky - Janis Ian

Written by：Janis Ian/Philip Clark

We're murdering stravinsky

Shooting at ravel

Burying picasso slaughtering caetano

At the gates of hell

We're bringing down the beatles

Dylan and his pals

We're working very hard

To be the avante garde

Murdering stravinsky

We're bathing in the ashes

Dancing in the coals

Dressing up as fascists

And selling out our souls

Beauty is ugly

And ugliness is king

Pretty is useless

Gorgeous

Murdering stravinsky

We're burning down the bible

Tearing down the cross

Drinking holy water spitting in the gutter

Watch your sons and daughters

You'll be put upon the guillotine

Under blood blue skies

We're killing off the past

To make the future last

Murdering stravinsky

We're bathing in the ashes

Dancing on the coals

Dressing up as fascists

And bankrupting our souls

If beauty is ugly

Then ugliness is king

Pretty is useless

Gorgeous

Murdering stravinsky

All gone

All gone

All gone

And when the feast is over

We'll dine upon each other

You can be my sweetheart now

You can be my sweetheart now

You can be my sweetheart now

You can you can be my sweetheart now

You can be my sweetheart sweet

You can you can be my sweetheart now

You can be my sweetheart now

You can be my sweetheart now
