Onward, politicians, waving like a flag

With your jobs and pensions safely in the bag

See the mogul Murdoch, legal as the shark

Bleeding in the water, murder in the dark

Onward, politicians, waving like a flag

With your jobs and pensions safely in the bag

At first sign of trouble, advertising flees

Go then Rupert Murdoch, go down on your knees

Law’s foundation trembles at the spread of rot

Cleanse the nation’s temples on this curséd spot

Onward, politicians, waving like a flag

With your jobs and pensions safely in the bag

Like stampeding arseholes saving their own arse

Sacred cows are running into abattoirs

Parties are divided, factious are the tribes

Pieces of the action, buying peace with bribes

Onward, politicians, waving like a flag

With your jobs and pensions safely in the bag

Newspapers may perish, nations rise and fall

But the corporations always make the call

Parliaments will always vote for their money

Men just float tiny boats on their lawless sea

Onward, politicians, waving like a flag

With your jobs and pensions safely in the bag

Listen then you Gleesters to your happy songs

Little sips of Lethe, drowning out all wrongs

Money pulls the drawstrings of your puppet grins

Whores of Orwell singing, hanging your washing

Onward, politicians, waving like a flag

With your jobs and pensions safely in the bag
