Dedicate your "Turncoat" songs here!

[Khephra]

I'll never call anyone treasonous, but hypocrite or turncoat, yep, I'll do that.

If you could dedicate a song to someone who has "lost their way...badly", what would it be?

There's too many people to name, but for all the talented people who fucked up and joined the dark side, this song is for you:

I don’t want you and I don’t need you
Don’t bother to resist, I’ll beat you
It’s not your fault that you’re always wrong
The weak ones are there to justify the strong
The beautiful people, the beautiful people
It’s all relative to the size of your steeple
You can’t see the forest for the trees
You can’t smell
Your own shit on your knees
Hey you, what do you see?
Something beautiful, something free?
Hey you, are you trying to be mean?
If you live with apes, man, it’s hard to be clean
There’s no time to discriminate,
Hate every motherfucker
That’s in your way
The worms will live in every host
It’s hard to pick which one they eat most
The horrible people, the horrible people
It’s as anatomic as the size of your steeple
Capitalism has made it this way,
Old-fashioned fascism
Will take it away
(chorus)

[Screaming Lord Byron]

1. This works quite well.

Are you such a dreamer
To put the world to rights?

I'll stay home forever
Where two and two always makes five

I'll lay down the tracks
Sandbag and hide

January has April's showers
And two and two always makes five

It's the devil's way now
There is no way out
You can scream and you can shout
It is too late now

Because!
You have not been
Payin' attention
Payin' attention
Payin' attention
Payin' attention
You have not be-en
Payin’ attention
Payin’ attention
Payin’ attention
Payin’ attention
you have not been
Payin’ attention
Payin’ attention
Payin’ attention
Payin’ attention
You have no-t been
Payin’ attention
Payin’ attention
Payin’ attention
Payin’ attention

I try to sing along
But the music's all wrong
'Cause I’m not
'Cause I’m not
I swat 'em like flies but like flies the buggers keep coming back and NOT
But I’m not
All hail to the thief
All hail to the thief
But I'm not
But I'm not
But I'm not
But I'm not
Don't question my authority or put me in the dock
'Cause I'm not
'Cause I'm not
Oh go and tell the king that the sky is falling in
When it's not
But it's not
But it's not
Maybe not
Maybe not

[St. Jarvitude]

2. hey, one of radiohead's best individual songs

The rest of Hail to the Thief is pretty good, but the opening rocks.
