Blitz, you test me, no more
I'm calm, now absent, I'm date-rape yellow, black to the liver come on
Take my lung, take my loose tongue, take my sum, take my memory
Of nothing at all, nothing at all is what you remind me
No thread, no lips, no postscripts, no eclipse of my liberty
Oh pedigree chum, pedigree chum I'm never your father
Cause you're gonna sit on your fence when I'm gone
Cause you're gonna sit on your fence when I'm not there
More, my arc light, my knees
When she casts off her clothes I don't know what is reality
My death throes, this indefinite pose, her flesh codes (inconceivable)
Oh suffragette, suffragette I wanna be outlawed and AWOL
No alphabet can be used yet no cassette is available
Oh I dunno how, I dunno how I'm gonna reset my whole radar
(Forget) Cause you're gonna sit on the fence when I'm gone
(Forget) Cause you're gonna sit on the fence when I'm not there
[Repeat: x2]
Cause you're gonna sit on the fence when I'm gone
Cause you're gonna sit on the fence when I'm not there
(To the back, to the back row)
Of nothing at all, nothing at all is what you remind me
Oh suffragette, suffragette I wanna be outlawed and AWOL but
[Repeat: x6]
Cause you're gonna sit on the fence when I'm gone
Cause you're gonna sit on the fence when I'm not there
I'm calm, now absent, I'm date-rape yellow, black to the liver come on
Take my lung, take my loose tongue, take my sum, take my memory
Of nothing at all, nothing at all is what you remind me
No thread, no lips, no postscripts, no eclipse of my liberty
Oh pedigree chum, pedigree chum I'm never your father
Cause you're gonna sit on your fence when I'm gone
Cause you're gonna sit on your fence when I'm not there
More, my arc light, my knees
When she casts off her clothes I don't know what is reality
My death throes, this indefinite pose, her flesh codes (inconceivable)
Oh suffragette, suffragette I wanna be outlawed and AWOL
No alphabet can be used yet no cassette is available
Oh I dunno how, I dunno how I'm gonna reset my whole radar
(Forget) Cause you're gonna sit on the fence when I'm gone
(Forget) Cause you're gonna sit on the fence when I'm not there
[Repeat: x2]
Cause you're gonna sit on the fence when I'm gone
Cause you're gonna sit on the fence when I'm not there
(To the back, to the back row)
Of nothing at all, nothing at all is what you remind me
Oh suffragette, suffragette I wanna be outlawed and AWOL but
[Repeat: x6]
Cause you're gonna sit on the fence when I'm gone
Cause you're gonna sit on the fence when I'm not there

"and the ball's in your court
in the court, your balls"
(followed by the chorus)
makes me think that they are at least aware and just as amused by their own unclear lyrics.
I think the line 'who's going to sit on your face when I'm gone' is something that used to be said by feminists in the 80's. It's probably a direct quote from someone but I can't find a reference on the internet. I used to date a feminist girl in the 80's who once said this to me.
The suffragette bit adds to that.
"Whose gonna sit on your FACE when I'm gone. Whose gonna sit on your FACE when I'm not there."
I think it's said at least twice in the song.
The first time this is sung, it's actually "Whose gonna sit on your fence when I'm gone. Whose gonna sit on your FACE when I'm not there."
They haven't posted the lyrics to the chorus on the website, but listen to any live version of the song. Pretty sure face is said at least once.
