Breakfast On The Table

Here’s what it did on the provocation
A nation leading through a revolution
Ali was the chief with a good reputation
He was called to treat an early invitation
“Don’t you refuse,” this man made a plea
“I have set breakfast ready on the table”
Ali was in doubt but what would it matter
He never reached home dying for water

Ooh
Breakfast on the table! Taken for a gesture
Breakfast on the table! Poison in the teaser

And the maid saw it boiling in the kettle
A blow ba-ka-ba-ka-ba-ka big as a ball every bubble
Then a sound justice for late Mister Ali
With a fine bench weighing law on his family
And his son proclaimed, “I want his blood”
In nineteen fifty-three, he profoundly stood
Goddamn his mistake was brave that he said
“I want to kill the man who killed my father dead”

Ooh
Breakfast on the table! Taken for a gesture
Breakfast on the table! Poison in the teaser

Yeah, the time came up he was tied to a tree
A sentence on his shoulder he could never be free
In her heavy bounds a pretty young bitch
She helped him kill a man, what a cool witch
He never had a drop from the bucket of water
He never plead guilty, recited his prayer
Around the corners an outrage spread
The gunmen took aim and shot, shot him dead

Ooh
Breakfast on the table! Taken for a gesture
Breakfast on the table! Poison in the teaser
