Termites

Eight in the morning The noise in the street sounding like hell They're digging the sidewalk The forth time, the fifth time Who could tell! They are like termites Looking for food without a rest Tearing the ground up! Tomorrow their task will be the same A new day's beginning in my town I'll have to get up early feeling down The bus is late as ever I feel worse The tube is full of people Let us walk! Tell me when our leaders Will act a way that we could understand They claim to be prepared To know what's good or bad our lives And when the council Sends you a note, it's a bad sign Citizen, dead Here's a new tax if you don't mind Tomorrow you'll pay more At the parking meter The council cares for you Like a baby-sitter And if you have a problem don't you worry Here's a good idea just final Tell me when our leaders Will talk about good mews for a change Tell me it will be never Cos we are always loosing all the same And if you stand up They'll label you a "social disgrace" You hairy young man The almighty ones don't like your face Or you'll be sent to a nasty place Tell me when our leaders Will talk about good mews for a change Tell me it will be never Cos we are always loosing all the same
