lyrics

ONAMANAKANAMANA

Onamanakanamana cinemana-anamana-ah!
Onamanakanamana cinemana-anamana-ah!

I joined Shinrikyo
I make sarin gas
Put it on the Tokyo Express
No looking back
I wear a funny face mask
When I took it off no one caught me
I’m feeling good today, no regrets
Have to do what you’ve got to do
And I say

Onamanakanamana cinemana-anamana-ah!
Onamanakanamana cinemana-anamana-ah!

I use sarin gas on the subway
I feel good because I get away
Getting away with killing anyone I want, oh oh!

So you’re foaming at the mouth with your backpack on
Gonna be late for school
Everybody's gonna laugh
Laugh at you

Onamanakanamana cinemana-anamana-ah!
Onamanakanamana cinemana-anamana-ooh!

Ooh, I’m a Maoist sitting in a tree
Waiting for police to try and encircle me
But I’m picking them off one two three
And that’s what a Maoist is going to do
Maoist is going to kill you, OW!

Onamanakanamana cinemana-anamana-ooh!
Onamanakanamana cinemana-anamana-ah!

Living in a village outside the city
Wearing a mask
Not going to let the rebels win
Not going to let the government in
Not going to let civilians live

Onamanakanamana cinemana-anamana-ooh!
Ooh, I’m gonna have my own little war with you!
Onamanakanamana cinemana-anamana-ah!

If you don’t get caught you don’t need regret
If you don’t get caught you don’t regret
If you don’t get caught you don’t need regret
No oh!
Aaahh

Onamanakanamana cinemana-anamana-oh!
Onamanakanamana cinemana-anamana-ah!

Sitting in my bedroom
Sitting in my basement
Making my sarin gas
Gotta find a place to leave it
Gonna put it under my hat
Oh, I’m going to walk away
Everybody is gonna choke today

Onamanakanamana cinemana-anamana-ooh!
Onamanakanamana cinemana-anamana-ooh!

It’s not personal
It’s not an attack on you
I’ve got a bigger things in mind what I want to do
I want to stop society now, I want to stop it now
Everybody’s keeping me down
But if I don’t get caught I don’t feel regret
And if you don’t get feel regret
Because you haven’t been caught
That’s the way it ought to work
Because it’s justice

Onamanakanamana cinemana-anamana-ooh
Onamanakanamana cinemana-anamana-ah

If I was a chicken I’d carry SARS
Carry SARS into the villages
If I was a cow I’d be a mad cow
It's true!
If I was a pig I’d have trichinosis
If I was a bird I'd have avian flu
I'd fly straight to you, I'd fly to you

Onamanakanamana cinemana-anamana-ah!
