Henry Priestman - The Idiot lyrics

The natural habitation of the tiger's under threat From the deforestation and a rise in Third World debt And you don't even see those sparrows flying overhead 'Cos it's said, they're all dead But the idiot is doing fine Yeah, the idiot is not in decline And the idiot is doing ok 'Cos the thing about the idiot Is there's one more everyday They're multiplying faster than locusts in a plague And they're breeding in the places where the money is all made And they're feeding on the carcas of common sense decayed And they grow fat off our backs Oh the idiot is doing fine Yeah, the idiot is not in decline And the idiot is doing ok 'Cos the thing about the idiot Is there's one more everyday He's doing ok, he's doing ok Seems like life moves ever faster but the traffic moves so slow We're all in such a hurry but we got nowhere to go And love and understanding, well it's at an all time low Oh no no, oh no no But the idiot is doing fine Yeah, the idiot is not in decline And the idiot is doing ok 'Cos the thing about the idiot Is there's one more everyday Yeah the thing about the idiot Is there's one more everyday
