Ballad of Verdun Hayes

Lyrics: Barry Mills Music: Barry Mills/Adam Thistlethwaite [Verse 1] Everybody riot, control yourselves Everybody riot‚ sit down please Everybody riot‚ do as you’re told Everybody riot‚ you’re far too old
[Pre-Chorus 1] Verdun Hayes jumps out of a plane
[Chorus] That man's a hundred and one Still goin' strong Does what he wants He listens a to no one The man's a machine Lean and he’s mean A thousand lives won’t see what he seen
[Verse 2] No ball games, everybody riot Compensation claims, everybody riot Keep well back‚ everybody riot The flowers attack Everybody down hit the floor My shoes are untied somebody write a report Everybody back up on your feet, everybody riot quietly
[Pre-Chorus 1] Verdun Hayes jumps out of a plane
[Chorus] That man's a hundred and one Still goin' strong Does what he wants He listens a to no one The man's a machine Lean and he’s mean A thousand lives won’t see what he seen
[Hook] Health and safety sub section 3 stipulates no fun at all times We’re not here to ruin your party just here to make sure you’re alright…
[Pre-Chorus 2] Verdun Hayes jumps out of a plane Verdun Hayes is at it again Verdun, Verdun…
[Chorus] That man's a hundred and one Still goin' strong Does what he wants Listens to no one The man's a machine Lean and he’s mean A thousand lives won’t see what he’s seen
[Outro] Do what you do dont what you wanna dont Be the king of it all if you want if you want There’s a world goin on outside those doors‚ whooa whoa There’s a world goin on and it’s yours and it’s yours
