The call to arms was never true
Time to imbibe here's to you
I'll tell you stories bruised and blue
Of drum machines and land slides
Just one more round before we're through
More psychedelic yuppie flu
Its such a silly thing to do

And now we're stuck on rewind
Let's follow the cops back home
Follow the cops back home
Lets follow the cops back home
And rob their houses

The call to arms was never true
Lets take a ride and push it through
Suspended animation glue
Blame it on apartheid
Lets spend the night in jimmy choose
I'll give you coats and cheap shampoo
I'll give you nothing else to do

And now we're stuck on rewind
Let's follow the cops back home
Follow the cops back home
Lets follow the cops back home
And rob their houses

The call to arms was never true
I'm medicated how are you?
Lets take a dive swim right through
Sophisticated points of view

Let's follow the cops back home
Follow the cops back home
Lets follow the cops back home
And rob their houses
Let's follow the cops back home
Follow the cops back home
Lets follow the cops back home
And rob their houses

    I get an enormously strong sense of loneliness from this song. Loneliness and uselessness. It's so very sad.
