Always a Problem
What you do if you were me,
what's your political strategy?
you have to fake sincerity
and brush up your macrevelle(sp?)
What would you do if you were me,
what kind of leader would you be?
Everyday a crisis, oh, surprise,
do you stand firm, or compromise...
There's always a problem waiting in the wings
That's always been the problemfor Prime ministers and Kings.
But what keeps me up at night
and makes me very tense
Is the problem of balance of payment.
Uptight, highly strung,
makes me very tense
when it comes to the balance of payment.
Imports, exports, deficital surplus,
scam it all, ___, ecomnomic circus.
In layman's terms, when it comes down to it,
If you buy more than you sell then you are really in the shit.
The correct term is 'visible trade decefit'(?)
You can call it what you like 'cause we are really in the shit.
There's always a problem waiting in the wings
That's always been the problemfor Prime ministers and Kings.
We make great things which we sell when we can,
But the whole ___ wants to buy german.
Another little problem, with which we all are blessed,
Is a great deal of industrial unrest.
Strikes here, strikes there, it just amazes me,
When the daffodils come out the men come out and sniff the ___.
We need ideas, we need a plan,
To put the 'great' into Great Britain.
Uptight, Highly strung, it really makes you sweat,
When he thinks of the size of the great british debt.
Eurrh!
Debt!
Eurrh!
Debt!
Eurrh!
Debt!
Eurrrrrgh!
_Sir, how do you feel about quantative easing?
-I don't need it i'm very regular.
_But this is an emergency!
-In an emergency I'll have two black coffees and a cigarrette.
_Printing money!
-Printing money? Can we do that? Brill-i-ant!
No more bloody problems in the bloody wings!
printing cash will make us all more powerful than kings,
This is the master plan to cure our economy,
This had better bloody work, 'cause there ain't no plan 'B'.
Whoo!
We love our country, the greatest on the earth!
with its immortal industry from mining to woolworths.
The ___ willbe around long after we've gone,
which judging from the state of things,
Won' be very long(won't be very, won't be very long)
Oh shit.
