Maybe you can buy your way into good company
Respectable living of the nouveaux riches
Maybe you'll get elected to the board of directors
Of a charitable organization for rescued fish
Maybe the chamber of commerce will take you
Maybe they have you marked down as a counsellor
Where you can do good works, and pretend you never hurt
The environment with your shirt of many colours
Maybe you'll be seen at all the dances
Of the society balls
And rub shoulders with ladies who give you glances
And ask you to meet them outside propriety walls
Maybe they will drop their fur coats for you
Maybe they will run off down the street
With all the rats and the mink
who never had chances
Than to be skinned for their fur pelts
While discarding their meat
And then when you've become king of the castle
And green washed yourself so you look
Nice and neat
You can look back and say I worked for the establishment
And joined the pyramid at the bottom
But now I'm complete
Because you never did nothing to change the status quo
Nor provide equality for the poor of other countries
That Britain just stands on to gain its control
And feeds off of like an octopus with many
Sucker feet
Go on then work on your oil rig
Go on uncle Sam
Join
Sides with the dark forces
Just mind the sea horses
That you crush with both hands
