lyrics

The Pasta Song (c) J.Davey 2016

I don't want the pot to boil over,
Blood to spill out on the street,
All I want is make me some pasta,
Cook up something good to eat.
I don't want the pot to boil over,
Blood to spill out on the street,
All I want is make me some pasta,
Cook up something good to eat.

I hear politicians talkin' loud,
They say whatever, will please the crowd,
The real policy come from backroom boys,
He's just a puppet, remote control toy,
He said we should rise, join his side,
He tells the truth, the others tell lies,
He talked of rights we should never forget,
The time is ripe, ther'd be no regret.

I don't want the pot to boil over,
Blood to spill out on the street,
All I want is make me some pasta,
Cook up something good to eat.
I don't want the pot to boil over,
Blood to spill out on the street,
All I want is make me some pasta,
Cook up something good to eat.

I tried to run, I tried to hide,
I was told, to choose a side,
Told to listen, not to speak,
The strong where beating cries from the weak,
They argue dollars, the economy,
Ignore the violence, of poverty,
They are selling wholesale insanity,
Packaged up as Party Policy

I don't want the pot to boil over,
Blood to spill out on the street,
All I want is make me some pasta,
Cook up something good to eat.

I don't want the pot to boil over,
I don't want the pot to boil over,
I don't want the pot to boil over.
