EP: The Dictator (2022) - Iggy Pop (with Catherine Graindorge)












The Dictator lyrics - Catherine Graindorge & Iggy Pop

When I was a little boy I remember the smiling head of Ike
And everything was gonna be alright
And I can remember the hysterical speaker at the patriotic boys assembly
And I remember the bloody head, handsome and dead of the president
I remember the beatings...
And I remember the sneering... the sneering...

The big dictator, he is coming soon
The big dictator, he is coming soon
He has magic to, turn a day to night
He has instinct to, crush the weak with might
He conjures Elvis who, was the people's king
He conjures Hitler now, fear is everything
And I'm sad, so sad...
I'm sad, so sad...

He will be your voice
His duty is to himself
Domination, clean and simple

The big dictator, he is coming soon...
He is strong and huge
The big dictator, he will break on through...
And I'm sad, so sad...
He will be your voice
I'm sad...
His duty is to himself
So sad
Domination
So sad
Clean and simple
Domination, domination, domination...
Clean it up

Mud I lyrics - Catherine Graindorge & Iggy Pop

I walk along the river in a thick fog
You tell me about a book your father once gave you
In my head turns this melody, no words
And you read me a princess story from a distance

The trees stand and criss-cross in a thick fog
Miles separate us, between this story
Yours and my steps in the mud

You offer me your trust
I listen to the birds and your words
But from a distance

The song breaks through the clouds for a moment
You talk to me about travels
Somewhere stories being told
And my steps in the mud
Bring me closer to silence

Mud II lyrics - Catherine Graindorge & Iggy Pop

Half the world is walking in rex, in the mud
Now the long walk is getting closer
Closer to we, who are too weak to suffer long
Because we always felt the shadow of evil

We drank the cup, the breath of dignity, the light of freedom
Of love given and returned
We, who will die out
Like a night of fun
Like a night of love
Like a laughter
Like a sunset...

And it makes you tired, so tired
It makes you tired, so tired
And it makes you tired, so tired
It makes you tired, so tired

Iggy lyrics - Iggy Pop
