TAIL SONG
We can't come together, our ways are different
You're a butcher's cat, I'm an alley cat
Your food comes in a tin bowl
Mine is in the lion's mouth
You dream of love, I of a bone
But your way isn't easy either, brother
It's no easy job
To lick the man's hand every damn day
-------------------------------------------------------------------
REPLY
From the butcher's cat to the alley cat
You speak of hunger
That means you're communist
That means you burned down all those buildings
The ones in Istanbul
The ones in Ankara.
What a swine you are!
