The Jet Set Junta - The Monochrome Set

Tick, tock, go the death watch beetles in él presidente’s swill

Pop, pop, goes the Cliquot magnum at the reading of the will

Hiss, hiss, goes the snakeskin wallet stuffed with Cruziero bills

Here we come, the jet set junta

Here we come, the jet set junta

Broom, broom, goes the armoured Cadillac through Montevideo

Rat-a-tat goes the sub-machine gun to restore the status quo

Snip, snip, go the tailor’s scissors on the suit in Saville Row

Here we come, the jet set junta

Here we come, the jet set junta

Thud, thud, goes the rubber truncheon on the Indian peon’s heel

Buzz, buzz, go the brass electrodes as the flesh begins to peel

Rattle, rattle, goes the bullet round and round the roulette wheel

Here we come, the jet set junta

Here we come, the jet set junta
