Janis Ian
Murdering Stravinsky
[Verse 1]
We're murdering Stravinsky
Shooting at Ravel
Burying Picasso, slaughtering Caetano
At the gates of hell
We're bringing down the Beatles
Dylan and his pals
We're working very hard to be the avant-garde
Murdering Stravinsky

[Chorus]
We're bathing in the ashes
Dancing on the coals
Dressing up as fascists
And bankrupting our souls
Beauty is ugly
And ugliness is king
Pretty is useless
Drop dead gorgeous
Murdering Stravinsky

[Verse 2]
We're burning down the Bible (Burning down the Bible)
Tearing down thе cross (Tearing down the cross)
Drinking holy water, spitting in thе gutter
Watch your sons and daughters
You'll be put upon the guillotine
Under blood blue skies
We're killing off the past to make the future last
Murdering Stravinsky
[Chorus]
We're bathing in the ashes
Dancing on the coals
Dressing up as fascists
And bankrupting our souls
Beauty is ugly
And ugliness is king
Pretty is useless
Drop dead gorgeous
Murdering Stravinsky

[Post-Chorus]
All gone
All gone
All gone

[Outro]
And when the feast is over
We'll dine upon each other
You can be my sweetheart now
You can be my sweetheart now (You can be my sweetheart now)
You can be my sweetheart now (You can be my sweetheart now)
You can be my sweetheart now (You can be my sweetheart now)
You can be my sweetheart now (You can be my sweetheart now)
You can be my sweetheart now (You can be my sweetheart now)
You can be my sweetheart now (You can be my sweetheart now)
You can be my sweetheart now (You can be my sweetheart now)
You can be my sweetheart now (You can be my sweetheart now)
