Frank Tovey - The Brotherhood lyrics

Golden handshakes, secret signs Walls have ears and telephone lines Judge and defendant, sacred brothers Drop the charge and accuse the others They make history, they make the law (The brotherhood) They make money, they make war (The brotherhood) Power corrupts and power succeeds (The brotherhood) And you take the whip right down on your knees (The brotherhood) The butcher, the baker The candlestick maker The whole of the Government And its caretaker Doctors and lawyers, priests and crooks Some unemployed just to cook old books Their hearts seem cold And their minds are sick The things they'll do just to get their kicks Spirit has spread right across the nation In forty-eight percent of the population They make history, they make the law (The brotherhood) They make money and they make war (The brotherhood) Power corrupts and power succeeds (The brotherhood) You have to join the club to get what you need (The brotherhood) They make history, they make the law (The brotherhood) They make money and they make war (The brotherhood) Power corrupts and power succeeds (The brotherhood) I may be a drag but I don't brag (The brotherhood) The brotherhood The brotherhood The brotherhood The brotherhood The brotherhood
