Idiots Run The World

Self-serving politicians
Lead the way
Into chaos and corruption
And destruction
Hey hey hey!
All hail the same old faces
Who bought themselves a break
They never give a
Straight answer
But look at all the money they make
Idiots run the world
Idiots run the world
Idiots run the world but it’s not over
No-one is above suspicion
Be always on your guard
It doesn’t say much
When the future
Is as bright as the people in charge
These fools will always be there
The system is in place
But they’ll never
Be as clever
As the rest of the human race

Where I Used To Be

You can never go home again
That’s what I’ve been told
But there’s so much in life
That cannot be controlled
I’m learning how to get away
I’m turning to another day
I’m yearning for a place to stay
Where I used to be
Where I used to be
Through the windows of the past
I can see you there
Pictures ill-defined
Running through my mind
Laughing living in the sun
Now that time is dead and done
And it seems
A hazy distant land
Hiding from the things I see
Insanity or serenity but I know
It’s written in the sand
You can never go home again
I know that much is true
But one elusive glimpse
Helps to get me through
I’m learning how to get away
I’m turning to another day
I’m yearning for a place to stay
Where I used to be
Where I used to be
Where I used to be

All The Rage

I’ve got what you need
My unhappy breed
You can discover the way
My miracle guide
Answers inside
Send all your money today
The usual fee will help you to be
Calm and collected and cold
Page after page
I’m all the rage
Over a million sold
Please understand
Help is at hand
You may be wondering when
And why you are more
Confused than before
And back in the same place again

Spying On The Spies

Heading for Heyward Hills
On Curzon Street, West One
Things are never what they seem
Driven out and then
Brought back in again
He looks like he’s in a dream
Picking up the pieces
And spying on the spies
Staring into space
There’s no hiding place
Things are never what they seem
Picking up the pieces
And spying on the spies
Short on time
Lost in shadows
Forced to climb
Back into their world once again
Now he’s under attack
Been shot in the back
Things are never what they seem
Picking up the pieces
It’s no surprise.
