Back to The Kellaways




LIKE THE PROVERBIAL


(Words and Music : Alf Davies)


I'll tell you a story, for that is my role
May be a tall one, may not even fit into the whole
I am a warrior, an ancient of fame
Fought with the Trojans
Goths and Vandals trembled at my name

A war-weary general, mercenary pure
In every battle, I participate and I endure
I'm propaganda, constant of war
Say it again now
I have said it many times before



And I can justify any action, any lie
I can dress the Devil up so fine
Name the place and time, and who it is must die
I can make arrangements down the line
Among my kind

I travel on wires, and work from behind
I make the myths now, I have redefined the real front line
Adaptive to changes, cowboy of tech
Guided by lasers
Weakness I am certain to detect

I'm propaganda, timeless and great
You think you control me, I have appetites you cannot sate
I'm propaganda, deceitful and bold
Give me a run-down
Then you do exactly as you're told



And I can justify any action, any lie
I can dress the Devil up so fine
Name the place and time, and who it is must die
I can make arrangements down the line
Among my kind
