[Chorus]
DmC
Banana Republic, Septic Isle
DmC
Screaming in the Suffering sea, sounds like cry, cry, crying
DmC
Everywhere I go yeah, Everywhere I see
DmG
The black and blue uniforms, Police and priests
[Verse]
DmC
And I wonder do you wonder While you're sleeping with your whore
DmC
That sharing beds with history is like a-licking running sores
DmC
Forty shades of green yeah, Sixty shades of red
DmG
Heroes going cheap these days, Price: a bullet in the head
[Chorus]
DmC
Banana Republic, Septic Isle
DmC
Suffer in the Screaming sea, sounds like die, die, dying
DmC
Everywhere I go yeah, Everywhere I see
DmG
The black and blue uniforms, Police and priests
[Verse]
DmC
Take your hand and lead you up a garden path
DmC
Let me stand aside here and watch you pass
DmC
Striking up a soldier's song, I know that tune
DmG
It begs too many questions, and answers too
[Chorus]
DmC
Banana Republic, Septic Isle
DmC
Suffer in the Screaming sea, sounds like die, die, dying
DmC
Everywhere I go yeah, Everywhere I see
DmG
The black and blue uniforms, Police and priests
[Verse]
DmC
The purple and the pinstripe They mutely shake their heads
DmC
A silence shrieking volumes, A violence worse than they condemn
DmC
Stab you in the back yeah, Laughing in your face
DmG
Glad to see the place again - It's a pity nothing's changed
[Chorus]
DmC
Banana Republic, Septic Isle
DmC
Suffer in the Screaming sea, sounds like die, die, dying
DmC
Everywhere I go yeah, Everywhere I see
DmG
The black and blue uniforms, Police and priests (priests, priests, priests....)
