Gong - Model Village lyrics

A perfect blue sky above perfectly manicured lawns People are stirring as the new day dawns The bells on the church ring a peal of perfection each day The dutiful brethren all line up to pray The local reporter reports on the news of the day Nothing has happened, there's nothing to say The model policeman stands guard in his uniform blue Day after day he has nothing to do The rules are there to guide you And constantly remind you You'd be useless without us We know what's best We are born to rule you Virtuous and mindless Obedient and silent They are told what to do What to think For a better future The friendly shopkeeper keeps his cards close to his chest He secretly pa**es on signs of unrest The power and the riches reside in the hands of the few The radicals impatiently wait for their cue
