He's making fun of starry-eyed sloganeers and vicious Robespierres with the line "And I just wanna know, while the revolution lasts, will it enable me to swallow broken glass?" |

| Pere Ubu – Laughing Lyrics

It seems to me the line at 2:30 -- "My baby said if the devil comes, we'll shoot him with a gun" -- was directly inspired by Terrence Malick's 1973 film "Badlands." Speaking of Martin Sheen's character, Kit, Sissy Spacek's character, Holly, says this at one point when they are on the run: "He said that if the devil came at me, I'd shoot him with a gun." In fact, the whole song can be seen as inspired by the film. I love both Ubu and "Badlands!" |
