lyrics

( The leaders of today show us the way. All together now...)
Jon: Nah, we aren't keen to be in charge, are we?
El: Hardly.
Jon: I find that hierarchies nark me/ But when art scenes start becoming arsey nazis...El!..
El: Wot!
Jon: They drive me bloody kamikaze
El: I hate promoters who throw a low blow cos they don't know a dope show/ Loaded with prose from the so so/ So openings blow, most people don't go/ And acts are solo like Han and don't grow
Jon: RunDMC really triggered me to spit/ But Run recently's been preaching bout some creepy shit/ Some Prosperity belief for rich greedy pigs/ Cheap as chips/ Just an old skeezer like Eedy Britt
El: Yeah we're giving out a scolding like a sarge does a rookie/ Like a father catching sons snatching jars for the cookie/ They're about to get a spanking cos they're dirty like a secret/ About to walk the plank cos they deserve it and they need it
Jon: You get them cretins pausing at pedestrian crossings/ When the next oncoming threat is a kilometre off from them/ Astonishing.../ Oi! These crossings are for the blind populace/ With guide dogs, holding white walking sticks
El: Motorists show their fists at the slightest provocation/ Chauvanistic posed as righteous road raging
Jon: I'm so dismayed!
El: Some people should never play at parenthood/ Who never took the time to play like every single parent should...

Hook: Nothing is getting better
El: Doesn't it make you sick?
Jon: Nah you're just wingeing
Hook: It's like a bad dream so have a good scream and panic!...

Jon: Pfff...I laugh at drama queens starting scenes, charged and steaming/ Feeding off of petty things, are they so starved of meaning?/ Whenever I'm feeling like my calm's receding/ Then I cast a fleeting glance up at the starry evening
El: Oh I hate job's worths, working in jobs/ Who treat the person's below as the dirtiest slobs/ So every posh snob with a surplus of cash../ Treats every other job like it's worthless and bad
Jon: From an early age I played on cityscapes like monkey frames/ Believe they call it 'Free Running' these days/ As companies make commodities and jump any craze.../ The stuff that we rate just becomes a bloody cliche
El: Hi! Have you thought about a personal loan?
Jon: Just re-mortgage your home
El: Don't delay!
Jon: Just pick up the phone!
El: Oh for Christ sakes am I the one to bubble like a cauldron.../ Get my willow cane and administer a scolding?
Jon: First against the wall should be Kim Cattrall/ Chris 'ginger balls' Evans...
El: And the Fun Loving Criminals/
Jon: That biddy Noel Edmunds and Davina Mcall/
Needles in dolls of Liam Gallagher and Steven Seagal
El: Anne Robinson, Dermot o Leary, Michael Parkinson/
And don't get me started on Carol Vordermann and Clarkson/ Stars who use the cause then conveniently stroll away/ I'm talking Bono, Robbie Williams and that cunt from Coldplay.
