where unemployment’s falling as the prison numbers rise
and your job is going overseas but the army’s door is wide
and he calls it “meritocracy” but wears an old-school tie
and the working class is drowning in a politician’s lies<\/p>\n
Mr. Poodle find yourself another country to be part of<\/p>\n
Where six year olds are tested if they can read and write
examined like a product upon a factory line
Yet reading is a leisure and tests a waste of time
unless you need statistics for a blatant philistine<\/p>\n
Mr. Poodle, find yourself another country to be part of<\/p>\n
where old men stand in judgment of teenagers in care
despite the former’s ignorance of the latter’s deep despair
and the victim’s getting punished while the criminal’s elsewhere
For it’s the king and not the pawns who makes a judgment fair<\/p>\n
Mr. Poodle, find yourself another country to be part of<\/p>\n
where the cross once made of silver now is caked with rust
and the Sunday morning sermon just hides the father’s lust
and the fallen face of Jesus has settled in the dust
and heaven only knows in which god Mr. Poodle trusts<\/p>\n
Mr. Poodle, find yourself another country to be part of<\/p>\n
where the leader is the ruler and ought to wear a crown
directing all the policies right from the top straight down
yet I can’t help but wonder from which voice comes the sound
when the speeches of our leader are the ravings of a clown<\/p>\n
Mr. Poodle, find yourself another country to be part of <\/span><\/p>\n
