    I Am Europe - EP

    by: Gonzales

    I'm a dog shaped ashtray
    I'm a shrugging moustache wearing a speedo tuxedo
    I'm a movie with no plot
    Written in the back seat of a piss powered taxi
    I'm an imperial armpit, sweating Chianti
    I'm a toilet with no seat, flushing tradition down
    I'm socialist lingerie, I'm diplomatic techno
    I'm gay pastry and racist cappuccino
    I'm an army on holiday in a guillotine museum
    I'm a painting made of hair, on a nudist beach
    Eating McDonald's
    I'm a novel far too long, I'm a sentimental song
    I'm a yellow tooth waltzing with wrap around shades on
    Who am I? I am Europe
