napalm death - constitutional hell lyrics

everything fits nicely into place
higher powers take the lead
middleman sit, pondering his worth
one great scheme to stem (the) objective urge

decision-making
and power playing
one up-manship

show of hands
to clasp the myth
vote in a new scourge

everything fits nicely into place
higher powers take the lead
issues are decided before we've a chance to think
and moral high ground wins the day again

decision-making
and power playing
principles spurned

show of hands
to clasp the myth
favors for my friends

it's a constitutional hell
where they pontificate and yell
where etiquette outplays integrity
it's a constitutional hell

everything fits nicely into place
higher powers take the lead
sleeping giants show their real worth
i'll sum up on all the good you've done this earth...

...nothing
