Preside! - Order! - Order!
Noises on the radio, megaphones on cars,
Sermons from the street of shame, know-it-alls in bars,
Posters in suburbia, experts on TV.
Don't let them disturb-i-ya
They're just the powers that be.
Heigh Ho!
Don't worry! Nobody can win! (Heigh Ho! Heigh Ho!)
No matter who you vote for the government always gets in.
Heigh Ho!
Oh great great slumbering nation
Awake! Set yourself free.
Oh! Smell the comforting bacon, taste the bromide tea,
And give a little chirrup as I ladle on the syrup.
Promises are cheap.
Let me bear your crosses, make me boss of bosses
Then you go back to sleep. (Ha ha ha)
Heigh Ho!
Don't worry! Pop your cross in the bin. (Heigh Ho! Heigh Ho!)
No matter who you vote for the government always gets in.
Heigh Ho!
Heigh Ho!
Heigh Ho!
Heigh Ho!
Memories of a finer place in comfortable Shangri-La.
Then they too have their Shangri-Las.
Shangri-La La La!
See them in the public eye oozing oily charm,
Hear them all personify down on Animal Farm.
Dog eat dog but cock and bull isms are the game.
Ism this and ism that-
Isn't it a shame!
Heigh Ho!
Don't worry! Nobody can win! (Heigh Ho! Heigh Ho!)
No matter who you vote for the government always gets in.
Heigh Ho!
Don't worry! Pop your cross in the bin. (Heigh Ho! Heigh Ho!)
No matter who you vote for the government always gets in.
Don't worry! You know you can't win! (Heigh Ho! Heigh Ho!)
No matter who you vote for the government always gets in.: (repeat and fade)
