05.11.2008 06:41 - Thoughts on the Dawning of a New Era in America
As the world wakes, bleary-eyed from following the American elections, take heart in this, dear reader : Today is the day the British celebrate the only man who ever entered the houses of Parliament with clear intentions.

Noises on the radio
Megaphones on cars
Sermons from the Street of Shame
Know-it-alls in bars
Posters in suburbia
Experts on t.v.
Don't let them disturb-i-ya
They're just the powers that be
Heigh ho!
Don't worry
Nobody can win
No matter who you vote for,
the government always gets in!
Oh, great, great slumbering nation
Awake! Set yourself free!
Oh, smell the comforting bacon
Taste the bromide tea
An' 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!Heigh ho!
Don't worry
Pop your cross in the bin
No matter who matter who you vote for,
the Government always gets in!
Men have dreams of a finer place
Incorruptible Shangri-la
Women 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, not cock and bull
Isms are the game
Ism this and ism that
Ism it a shame?
Heigh ho!
Don't worry
Nobody can win
No matter who you vote for,
the Government always gets in
(The Bonzo Dog Band)
