Lyrics:

The monster walked out of the garden
Brushed the dust off his shoulders
And straightened his tie
He took a hat from the rack (he wore hats)
He took a name and headed east
He said 'I'm gonna ruin this place'
He said 'I’m gonna ruin these people'
He said 'I know I can do it'

He sang ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
He sang ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah ah ah

He landed a job in the city
He sold things
He sold TV's and CD's and fast cars and film stars
Cocaine and word games and limited editions
He sold images and information
He sold arms and ammunition
And almost everybody loved him
And almost everyone believed him

They sang ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
They sang ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah ah ah

The people were dyin’ for love
The people were cryin' out for love
And when the people are dyin'
The people start buyin'

I faced him down in a mansion in Brentwood
I said no, and I called the police
I blew up the blue idol
Stole his song and I rewrote the theme
I made it a song about freedom
I made it a song about peace
I started to sing it in public
Yeah, and I found out some people agreed

We sang ah-ah-ah-ah
We sang ah-ah-ah-ah
We sang ah-ah-ah-ah
Hey hey hey

Ah-ah-ah-ah
We sang ah-ah-ah-ah
We sang ah-ah-ah-ah
Hey hey hey
