In the Desert - Mekons

In the desert artillery takes it’s time

Pounds and recoils, shell after shell

Sunk in the sand, a shattered statue lies

Nothing survives in the desert, nothing survives

Stamped out these lifeless things

Mockery smashed on the pedestal

No words appear

No words appear

Nothing beside remains

'Round the decay of that colossal wreck

Boundless and bare, the lone and level sands

Stretch far away

My name is Blank, a creature of Bush and Blair

Darkness and despair, darkness and despair
