Janis Ian — Murdering Stravinsky

[Verse 1] 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 avant-garde Murdering Stravinsky [Chorus] We're bathing in the ashes Dancing on the coals Dressing up as fascists And bankrupting our souls Beauty is ugly And ugliness is king Pretty is useless Drop dead gorgeous Murdering Stravinsky [Verse 2] We're burning down the Bible (Burning down the Bible) Tearing down thе cross (Tearing down the cross) Drinking holy water, spitting in thе 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 [Chorus] We're bathing in the ashes Dancing on the coals Dressing up as fascists And bankrupting our souls Beauty is ugly And ugliness is king Pretty is useless Drop dead gorgeous Murdering Stravinsky [Post-Chorus] All gone All gone All gone [Outro] 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 be my sweetheart now (You can be my sweetheart now) You can be my sweetheart now (You can be my sweetheart now) You can be my sweetheart now (You can be my sweetheart now) You can be my sweetheart now (You can be my sweetheart now) You can be my sweetheart now (You can be my sweetheart now) You can be my sweetheart now (You can be my sweetheart now) You can be my sweetheart now (You can be my sweetheart now)
