Lyrics

The tobacconist says: "He's a very nice guy Always paying cash and very polite A rather good client too, I would say He buys two packets of cigarettes everyday" They broke his elbows, then they took out their knives Pulled out his fingernails and gouged out his eyes And the officer smiles and pulls on his cigarette And the officer smiles as he drops the ash His wife says: "He's a wonderful husband Helpful and kind, he's wife's best friend Well, he just love children I dare to say he's one in a million" They cut her legs and they cut her tongue And they stuck an iron rod into her womb And the officer smiles and pulls on his cigarette And the officer smiles as he drops the ash His boss says: "He's a loyal employee He's obedient and full of sense of duty He likes his job, he's in for laugh And when he gets results he just can't get enough" They put him naked on a hot tin They threw gasoline all over and burned him And the officer smiles and pulls on his cigarette And the officer smiles as he drops the ash The cleaning woman says: "He's high in my favor I never have to criticize his behavior I know he's kind of sloppy, though I must say The cigarette stubs I find are always in the ashtray" First she was raped by all present men And afterwards the same mutilating began And the officer smiles and pulls on his cigarette And the officer smiles as he drops the ash The tobacconist says he's a very nice guy His wife says he's a wonderful husband His boss says he's a loyal employee And the cleaning woman says he's high in my favor And the officer smiles and pulls on his cigarette And the officer smiles as he drops the ash And the officer smiles and pulls on his cigarette And the officer smiles as he drops the ash Still, thrown out from helicopter into the sea Some ashtrays have been less lucky than me I know For I am his ashtray I am his ashtray alive and tied I know I am the ashtray One of a million unidentified I know I am the ashtray alive and tied And the officer smiles unidentified I know
