Keep That Whistle Blowing

There are those who cover up their deeds Beneath a pack of lies And try to weave a tangled web To cover their backsides The higher up the ladder you climb The more snakes in the tree Cash in plain brown paper envelopes Get out of jail free Shenanigans in the government Are under the carpet swept As the slugs that eat the finest leaves In the best hotels are kept As squillions they are squandered Profits trousered by the few And the lawyers line their pockets Just like they always do So keep that whistle blowing Play that old sweet song I want to hear that whistle blow So blow it hard, blow it long Blow it loud and clear So all the world can hear Just to hear that whistle blowing Brings sweet music to my ears Somebody has blundered And poisoned all the wells But you can rely on the golf club tie To silence all the bells Untouchable the board room babble Where they make the rules Money changers in the temple That take us all for fools So keep that whistle blowing Play that old sweet song I want to hear that whistle blow So blow it hard, blow it long Blow it loud and clear So all the world can hear Just to hear that whistle blowing Brings sweet music to my ears Gangsters in the cupboard As the scales fall from our eyes You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours As the fleas begin to bite We'll hoist the double standard Like an eagle on the flag Policemen in our pocket Democracy in a gag So keep that whistle blowing Play that old sweet song I want to hear that whistle blow So blow it hard, blow it long Blow it loud and clear So all the world can hear Just to hear that whistle blowing Brings sweet music to my ears So keep that whistle blowing Play that old sweet song I want to hear that whistle blow So blow it hard, blow it long Blow it loud and clear So all the world can hear Just to hear that whistle blowing Brings sweet music to my ears Brings sweet music to my ears Brings sweet music to my ears
