Tuzla lyrics

[Intro: Dawn Upshaw]
Ah
Ah

[Chorus: Joy Askew]
Of all the treasure in our chest
We love the golden god of war the best

[Verse 1: Joe Jackson]
Look, look at that little clown
Here, look through the binoculars
Someone burned his schoolhouse down
And he's blinking in the sun
He's drying something in the sun
Ha, it's an old teabag
Now he rolls it up
Look, he made a cigarette
But he's not gonna smoke it yet
Maybe he's gonna sell it
How much do you think he'll get?

[Bridge: Avatar Rainbow Coalition, Joe Jackson]
A slice of ham, a long goodbye, three days of peace
A bar of soap, a can of oil, ten years of debt
A pinch of salt, a week of news, four double-A's
A plastic bag, a place to hide, one sucker bet
I got what you want
You got what I need
[Pre-Chorus: Dawn Upshaw]
Ah
Ah, ah

[Chorus: Joy Askew]
Of all the sterling men of steel
We crave the one who'll teach us not to feel

[Verse 2: Joe Jackson]
Look at the guy selling beer
Where the hell does he get it from?
He's the king of the hill
He's the bug that survives the bomb
See the smirk on his greasy face
Handing a bottle to the mortal foe
It's not the time to kill
Not that he forgets
As he takes a crumpled bill
And thinks, this is better yet

[Bridge: Avatar Rainbow Coalition, Joe Jackson]
A pot for the rain, a pair of shoes, two hand grenades
A spade for a grave, four lovely eggs, three cigarettes
A stick of gum, some wood for a fire, two table legs
A cup of rice, a pint of blood, one pound of flesh
Line up to buy here
Line up to die there
[Verse 3: Joe Jackson]
Look, look through that window
Looks like your sister there
In a Chetnik's bed
Look, there on the table
Looks like she did it for a loaf of bread
sh*t, she's got a knife!
And he's snoring like a pig
Is he worth more alive or dead?
How much for his boots?
How much for his head?

[Chorus: Joy Askew]
Through all the days and all the times
We count the coin and stash away the crimes

[Outro: Joy Askew & Dawn Upshaw]
La la, la la, la la la la
La la, la la, la la la la, la la
La la, la la, la la la la
La la, la la, la la la la, la la (Ah, oh, oh)
La la, la la, la la la la
La la, la la, la la la la, la la (Ah, oh, ah)
La la, la la, la la la la
La la, la la, la la la la, la la (Ah, oh, ah)
