Two Little Hitlers Lyrics

while we're racing to be so old
I'm up late pacing the floor
I won't be told
you have your reservations
I'm bought and sold
I'll face the music, I'll face the facts
even when we walk in polka-dots and checkered slacks
bowing and squawking, running after tidbits
bobbing and squinting, just like a nitwit

chorus
two little hitlers will fight it out until 
one little hitler does the other one's will
I will return, I will not burn

down in the basement
I need my head examined, I need my eyes excited
I'd like to join the party, but I was not invited
you make a member of me, I'll be delighted
I wouldn't cry for lost souls who might drown
dirty words with dirty minds written in a toilet town
got me a valentine, she's a smooth operator
it's all so calculated, she's got a calculator
she's my soft touch typewriter, and I'm the great dictator

chorus

a simple game of self-respect
you flick the switch and the world goes off
nobody jumps as you expect
I would have thought you would have had enough by now

he calls selective dating, for some effective mating
I thought I'd let you down dear, but you were just afraid
I knew right from the start, we'd end up hating

pictures of the merchandise plastered on the wall
we can look so long as we don't have to talk at all
you say you'll never know him, he's not a natural man
he doesn't want your pleasure, he wants as no one can
he wants to know the names of all those he's better than

chorus
SONG:  (WHAT'S SO FUNNY 'BOUT) PEACE, LOVE AND UNDERSTANDING
(WRITTEN BY NICK LOWE)

as I walk through this wicked world
searching for light in the darkness of insanity
I ask myself, "is all hope lost?
Is there only pain and hatred and misery?"
And each time I feel like this inside
there's one thing I want to know
what's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?
Oh, what's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?

And as I walk on through troubled times
my spirit gets so down-hearted sometimes
so where are the strong?
And who are the trusted?
And where is that harmony?  (Sweet harmony)
'cause each time I feel it slipping away
just makes me want to cry
what's so funny bout peace, love and understanding?
Oh, what's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?

So where are the strong?
And who are the trusted?
And where is that harmony? Sweet harmony
'cause each time I feel it slipping away
just makes me want to cry
what's so funny bout peace, love and understanding?
Oh, what's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?
Oh, what's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?
