Lyrics for The Old School Tie by Hammill Peter:
| | | Artist: | Hammill Peter |
| | Album: | Ph7 | | Track: | The Old School Tie | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 118 | | | | Lyrics: | Oh the bright young man in the tight-buttoned suit
the light beams out from capped smiles to
the shines
on their lick-spittle books
Oh these sharp young sparks with their fresh
rosettes
Yeh, the artful ways that they promise the earth
to all suffragettes
-
What they won't promise we don't know yet.
They say they're build - and shaping
society
but we know they're just saving for their own
Safe home in
politics
Anything goes: look at them run.
Come from every side, noses Pinocchio
clean;
Lock in synchromesh, oil the wheels and the gears
of the party machine.
And
the final goal is a cabinet seat...
in the trappings of power, the presumption to
speak
for the man in the street.
Once they move in, they're in for good;
Yeh, once
they get that bed made it's a
safe home in politics.
Jobs for the boys: look at them
run.
There's just one thing none of us should forget:
a political man is just in it
for the power
and the smell of sucess.
Sure, some start out as idealists -
pretty
soon they all cop for ideal careers and
a safe home in politics,
a cusky job in
politics;
look at them run.
The politicians fight it out on the couning
tower
but they all agree not to rock the boat.
A safe home in politics
It's built
