The call to arms was never true,
Time to imbibe, here's to you,
I'll tell you stories bruised and blue,
Of drum machines and landslides,
Just one more round before we're through,
More psychedelic yuppie flu1,
It's such a silly thing to do,
And now we're stuck on rewind,

Let's follow the cops back home,
Follow the cops back home,
Let's follow the cops back home,
And rob their houses.

The call to arms was never true,
Let's take a ride and push it through,
Suspended animation glue,
And blame it on apartheid,
Let's spend the night in Jimmy Choo's2,
I'll give you coats and cheap shampoo,
Ill give you nothing else to do
And now we're stuck on rewind.

Let's follow the cops back home,
Follow the cops back home,
Let's follow the cops back home,
And rob their houses. (x2)

The call to arms was never true,
I'm medicated, how are you,
Let's take a dive, swim right through,
Sophisticated points of view.

Let's follow the cops back home,
Follow the cops back home,
Let's follow the cops back home,
And rob their houses. (x2)

1. yuppie flu : migraine, fatigue chronique ou surmenage dont se plaignent souvent les actifs des grandes villes, qu'ils imputent au style de vie très routinier et stressant des métropoles. L'idée du texte en général est celle d'une trangression ponctuelle des rêgles de la vie quotidienne et ennuyeuse. Il s'agit d'une invitation à se lâcher et à se laisser aller à ne pas être "correct", en faisant des choses aussi idiotes que de se saoûler et d'aller voler les flics.

2. Jimmy Choo est une marque de chaussures de luxe pour femme très glamour et fashion.
