Mike Lindup - Teflon Don
I was king of the debating societyMy mastery of oratory
has helped me to be
Prepared and ready
To serve the Nation
My experience was lacking
But then I found some backing
From a wealthy donor
Who was also the owner
Of an Influential Publication
Why would you diss the obvious choice
Let me convince you
with the sound of my voice
cos I'm the Teflon Don
You know my song
I've done nothing wrong
Don't feel sad for the sorry incumbent
We'd all be better off
If she was redundant
cos I'm the Teflon Don
You know my song
I've done nothing wrong
I say the things you wanna hear
To ratchet up your primal fear, yeah
Ladies and Gentleman
Cast your votes
I've got quotable quotes
And your hopes are only interesting to me
While I'm campaigning
Horses for courses
I wouldn't trust your sources
Friends in high places
Who I meet at the races
They're the kind of people
That I'm maintaining
I'll just ask you to follow me blindly
I know that history
will look on me kindly
cos I'm the Teflon Don
You know my song
I've done nothing wrong
If I lose the goodwill of the public
A large investment in
A foreign republic
Will be news long gone
The Teflon Don
He does nothing wrong
The rumours are gathering
They're dividing the nation
The vultures are circling
Talking bout immigration
The wool of nostalgia has been pulled over the eyes of the needy
Meanwhile the greedy have been
Hedging their bets
By betting the farm
That the deal is a dud
But please don't be alarmed
While you're levelling down,
I'll be living it up
As you're scratching for pennies
I'll be filling my cup
Why would you diss the obvious voice
Let me console you with a cliché of choice
cos I'm the Teflon Don
You know my song
I've done nothing wrong
Ha ha ha!
Yeahmy policy stank
Ha ha ha ha ha!
All the way to the bank
cos I'm the Teflon Don
You know my song
I've done nothing wrong
I say the things you wanna hear
To ratchet up your primal fear, yeah yeah
I say the things you wanna hear
To ratchet up your primal fear
The faithful are clapping
I'm getting a slapping
On my privileged ass
From a girl of high class,
She won't kiss and tell
She likes the money that she gets from my crony
I shoot from the hip
Make it up on the fly
Cos I know you can't tell
When a truth is a lie
Don't believe anything that they say about me
It's baloney
Propagate the hate
I say the things you wanna hear
Propagate the hate
To ratchet up your primal fear
Propagate the hate
I say the things you wanna hear
Propagate the hate
To ratchet up your primal fear, yeah yeah
Propagate the hate
I say the things you wanna hear
Sell the lie
Propagate the hate
To ratchet up your primal fear
We don't need no mass debate
I say the things you wanna hear
Do or Die
Propagate the hate
To ratchet up your primal fear, yeah
I say the things you wanna hear
To ratchet up your primal fear, yeah yeah
I say the things you wanna hear
