The Great and the Good
Napalm Death
The Great and the Good
Take 23
Maximum distortion
Go
Stinking to the bowels of high heaven
Creeping to the giants of status
Guarding protection of interests - not you
Not you or anything that might be misconstrued as help
Marching through the ashes of conquests
Slapping the backs of the empire men
Selling our consent in the process - that's you
That is you and everything you'd be reduced to do, do
A pledge is a pledge
But only 'til it doesn't suit your friends
The art of double-talk
Adamant on what you really meant
A pledge is a pledge is a pledge is a pledge
For lesser, the poorer
Pluck out their eyes - they offend
"Dumb" animals can't precede the lucre in barbaric tests
Big noise says jump now
The chasm is never too high or wide
The corporate slow-killer
Punished with a lenient smile
A pledge is a pledge is a pledge is a pledge
The arrogance, the hand in hands of despotic freaks that defend
An oversight where human rights fall at the fence of "good trade"
Yes man? Always
Drop the high and mighty facade
Do the decent thing
Consider mouthing one word of truth
Blow open the grand scheme
Yes man? Always. Yes man? Always. Yes man? Always
Drop the high and mighty facade
Do the decent thing
Consider mouthing one word of truth
Blow open the grand scheme
A pledge is a pledge is a pledge is a pledge
The man in the bubble smiles - berates the condemned
Back to his crusade, fights off more cries of dissent
Yes man? Always
The Great and the Good
Take 23
Maximum distortion
Go
Stinking to the bowels of high heaven
Creeping to the giants of status
Guarding protection of interests - not you
Not you or anything that might be misconstrued as help
Marching through the ashes of conquests
Slapping the backs of the empire men
Selling our consent in the process - that's you
That is you and everything you'd be reduced to do, do
A pledge is a pledge
But only 'til it doesn't suit your friends
The art of double-talk
Adamant on what you really meant
A pledge is a pledge is a pledge is a pledge
For lesser, the poorer
Pluck out their eyes - they offend
"Dumb" animals can't precede the lucre in barbaric tests
Big noise says jump now
The chasm is never too high or wide
The corporate slow-killer
Punished with a lenient smile
A pledge is a pledge is a pledge is a pledge
The arrogance, the hand in hands of despotic freaks that defend
An oversight where human rights fall at the fence of "good trade"
Yes man? Always
Drop the high and mighty facade
Do the decent thing
Consider mouthing one word of truth
Blow open the grand scheme
Yes man? Always. Yes man? Always. Yes man? Always
Drop the high and mighty facade
Do the decent thing
Consider mouthing one word of truth
Blow open the grand scheme
A pledge is a pledge is a pledge is a pledge
The man in the bubble smiles - berates the condemned
Back to his crusade, fights off more cries of dissent
Yes man? Always
