No Parlez Lyrics

No questions
There's no debate
It's a stand off situation
No time to arbitrate

You've gone as far as you can
So call in the middle man
For this is your policy
You just don't wanna talk with me

Oh yeh, you hate your children to rise
You hate your children
Oh yeh, you hate your children
Still you put the hammer in the hands of the children
Oh yeh, you hate your children to rise
You hate your children
Oh yeh, you hate your children
Still you put the hammer in the hands of the children

NO The plot is deep
Between the two. PARLEZ
What compromise
Will ever do?
NO With word, letters with proof
So we learn to tell the truth. PARLEZ

Oh, this is your policy
You just don't wanna talk to me
Oh yeh, you hate your children to rise
You hate your children
Oh yeh, you hate your children
Still you put the hammer in the hands of the children
Oh yeh, you hate your children to rise
You hate your children
Oh yeh, you hate your children
Still you put the hammer in the hands of the children

Around the conference table
Talking on the telephone
Who speaks for him that speaks for you?
You control the no-go zone
You've gone as far as you can
So call in the middle man
For this is your policy
You just don't wanna talk with me


Oh yeh, you hate your children to rise
You hate your children
Oh yeh, you hate your children
Still you put the hammer in the hands of the children

Oh yeh, you hate your children to rise
You hate your children
Oh yeh, you hate your children
Still you put the hammer in the hands of the children
Still you put the hammer in the hands of the children
Oh yeh, you hate your children to rise
You hate your children
Oh yeh, you hate your children
Still you put the hammer in the hands of the children
Oh yeh, you hate your children to rise
You hate your children
Oh yeh, you hate your children
Still you put the hammer in the hands of the children

Still you put the hammer in the hands of the children
Still you put the hammer in the hands of the children
Still you put the hammer in the hands of the children
Still you put the hammer in the hands of the children
Still you put the hammer in the hands of the children
Still you put the hammer in the hands of the children
