Less Than Zero - Elvis Costello
Calling Mister Oswald with the swastika tattoo There is a vacancy waiting in the English voodoo Carving "v" for vandal on the guilty boy's head When he's had enough of that, maybe you'll take him to bed To teach him he's alive before he wishes he was dead Turn up the TV, no one listening will suspect Even your mother won't detect it so your father won't know They think that I've got no respect, but Everything means less than zero Hey, oh hey Hey, oh hey Oswald and his sister are doing it again They've got the finest home movies that you have ever seen They've got a thousand variations, every service with a smile They're gonna take a little break, and they'll be back after a while Well, I hear that South America is coming into style Turn up the TV, no one listening will suspect Even your mother won't detect it so your father won't know They think that I've got no respect, but Everything means less than zero Hey, oh hey Hey, oh hey A pistol was still smoking, a man lay on the floor Mister Oswald said he had an understanding with the law He said he heard about a couple living in the USA He said they traded in their baby for a Chevrolet Let's talk about the future now we've put the past away Turn up the TV, no one listening will suspect Even your mother won't detect it so your father won't know They think that I've got no respect, but Everything means less than zero Hey, oh hey Hey, oh hey Hey, oh hey Hey, oh hey Hey, oh hey Hey, oh hey Hey, hey Hey, oh hey
