Robyn Hitchcock - Nietzsche's Way lyrics

Los Angeles police They come in different flavors And history refuses To do them any favors The insects point towards you With numbers on their collars I'm dancing with a sandwich That cost eleven dollars That's Nietzsche's way of telling you That's Nietzsche's way of setting you down You were in love with Caesar But Caesar in a body bag It could have been a grow bag If he'd been a tomato That's Nietzsche's way of tempting you That's Nietzsche's way of setting you down I don't like that word "absolute" You see that loathsome superman He flexes by your sundial My physique was inadequate So I became a dreamer It's the privilege of youth and beauty To hate themselves It's the privilege of youth and beauty To fade If something doesn't k** you It's gotta make you stronger And as you haven't k**ed me You must have made me stronger It's the privilege of youth and beauty To corrupt themselves It's the privilege of youth and beauty To decay Los Angeles police They come in different flavors And history refuses To do them any favors That's Nietzsche's way of telling you That's Nietzsche's way of setting you down Of setting you down
