Chris Port Blog #304. Onward, Politicians

Onward, Politicians
© Chris Port, 18th July 2011
(To the tune of Onward, Christian Soldiers
- original music by Arthur S. Sullivan, original lyrics by Sabine Baring-Gould)


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
