To die for his mother country
isn't every fathers' wish
But if you're ever feeling hungry
feast your eyes on this
Bullied beat-up cabbage kids
to be patched up by the nurse
who's carrying the baggage in
for the private patients first
And the doctor prays to Buddha
"Hey send me to another town!"
A shovelfull of sugar won't make that medicine go down
As the actress said to the bishop
"I stand accused, your grace
of the 7 deadly cynicisms
and a total lack of faith."
And if I put this gun against my head
and pull the trigger I'll be dead
But if I listen to my heart
It says, "Billy, that ain't smart."
so I'll do something else instead
Billy's smart! Billy's smart!
circus for the bleeding hearts
feed the world, heal the sick
and take the piss out of the sh**
live your life without a net
stick your head down a lion's neck
and listen to the people cheer
"Send in the clowns!"
Don't bother, they're here
To die for his mother country
isn't every fathers' wish
But if you're ever feeling hungry
feast your eyes on this
Underfunded O.A.P.s
turn to life of crime
the great cucumber robberies of 1989
Send 'em down and bang 'em up
in a South London maisonette
Unlicensed and unregistered
it shouldn't happen to a vet
As the actress said to the bishop
the Rabbi and the priest
"Mine eyes have seen the glory
I'm a born-again atheist!"
And if I put this gun against my head
and pull the trigger I'll be dead
but if I listen to my heart
it says "Billy, that ain't smart"
So I'll shoot someone else instead
Goodbye
