The jokes are everywhere,
The secret deal’s complete —
Money talks, some good advice,
The politicians run like clockwork mice,
All fits the masterplan.
A database on the telephone
And cable sunshine floods your home
So, times are good ?
Fat cats get fatter day by day.
Those who sit it out will make their way,
So things can’t be that bad.
Ooh, a smile has set upon this land,
Ooh, a selfish grin of ignorance;
Ooh, you simply have to play the game…
The joke’s on us:
This is more and more ridiculous.
Everything’s great,
Objectivity taboo,
Self-satisfaction pumping up
Minor achievements to cover up
All the failures and mistakes.
And if you don’t smile along
You’re a public enemy, you don’t belong —
The black lists are in the mail.
There isn’t any room for doubt,
We’ll all be equal when we share it out
But outsiders will get nothing.
