Whatever happened to the fear of god?

Whatever happened to church on sunday?

Whatever happened to the velvet glove?

And the iron fist

Whatever happened to the social season?

Whatever happened to the debutants?

Whatever happened to the South of France?



Good old fashioned brutality

Everything in it's place

Good old fashioned barbarity

Leave the room in disgrace



Whatever happened to drinking and driving

And doing the decent thing?

Hiding out on the continent

Getting over a nervous breakdown

Close the ranks and remove all traces

Say anything to stay out of jail

What it really boils down to:

It always wins, it never fails



Good old fashioned brutality

Everything in it's place

Good old fashioned barbarity

Leave the room in disgrace



Ah-ah-ah,ah-ah...



Driving back from a late night party

Took a corner much too fast

Head-on collision with the 21st century

Whatever happened to brutality?
