Tony Peek - God Save the Queen

I've got a good idea let's use politics
To try and make the world a better place
We all know our citizens are as malleable as cake mix
So let's rub injustices in their face
You use the newspapers and I'll use the internet
Let's make the truth seem like it's a lie
We'll give them what they want today
But threaten to take it all away
And then deflect their questions
If they dare to ask "Why?"
God save the Queen! God save the Queen
God save, God save, God save the Queen

Let's start off with the middle classes
They think they're so smart but they've got the most to lose
We'll give them social credit scores and if they don't get passes
We'll take away their cars and homes and shame them on the news
We'll teach them what to say and think and show them what to eat and drink
Delusion, bribes, and flattery will cripple them
But they should feel superior though they're obviously inferior
So let's make them read 'Of Mice and Men'
God save the Queen

And when that lot are finally sorted
Then it's just the working class we've got to control
Be Careful there are lots of them and the French they once reported
That if we get it wrong then heads will roll
We'll tell them that we're on their side fill up their empty hearts with pride
Let's all sing Rule Britannia as the Union Jack waves
Don't let them see it's all a fake a cruel charade a big mistake
And never let them find out that they are nothing but slaves
God save the queen

Now what about a little bit of wealth redistribution?
Let's take some money from the poor and give it to the rich
HMRC is our favourite institution
There's nothing quite like taxes to keep you in a ditch
If you earn over a 100 grand you'll get off 'cause you'll understand
It's not how much you make it's where you keep it hid
But everybody else will pay their taxes till it's judgement day
And only take a pittance home for the work they did
God save the Queen

Now all we need is some food and entertaining
Keep them fed and busy and they'll think it's all fine
The last thing that we want is the populous complaining
And trying to take control of things and stepping out of line
We'll let them do the lottery and every week they'll dream and see
If they can have a little bit of what we've got
And we'll put some rubbish on TV to keep them trapped but feeling free
And if they ever work us out we'll have them shot
God save the Queen

I've got a good idea let's use politics
To try and make the world a slightly better place
I've got a good idea let's stop playing dirty tricks
Let's try and improve things for the whole human race
Things should be much better now but I don't think that they are somehow
Maybe we should just be glad that we are alive
Still it breaks the heart in me to think how great the world could be
I want to do more while I'm here than just survive
God save the Queen
