lirik lagu martyn joseph - being there

[verse 1]
theme pub towns of carriage lamps and selective affluence
the voting booth of certainty ensures a quiet subservience
politicians smooth their hair, a cardboard box begins to leak
be bold, be strong, sell hong kong, leave behind the lame and weak
that’s right

[verse 2]
these islands of divided spoils, we sailed the world and we robbed it too
came home and wrote thigh~slapping books, jingoistic ballyhoo
children of the empire howl, we’re just putting up some shelves
and shaking hands with maniacs, no wonder whales beach themselves
that’s right

[chorus]
poll tax, blurred facts, good job there’s not a soul tax
’cause those who rule are those who couldn’t pay
we’ve got empty prayers and loveless stares
and we’ve padlocked casualty and we’re the casualties
of being there

[verse 3]
tear gas ghosts on terraces, guffawing game show parliament
in order to avoid arrest, it’s best to be completely bent
fair shares for all portfolios available upon request
to deal is to be healed in the kingdom of the double breast
[chorus]
with poll tax, blurred facts, good job there’s not a soul tax
’cause those who rule are those who couldn’t pay
we got empty prayers and loveless stares
and we’ve padlocked casualty and we’re the casualties
of being there
poll tax, blurred facts, good job there’s not a soul tax
’cause those who rule are those who couldn’t pay
we got empty prayers and loveless stares
and we’ve padlocked casualty and we’re the casualties
of being there

[verse 4]
we’ve sucked the breast of right to buy, six pack evening barbecues
whilst yet another famine groans out on television news
so sad for him less fortunate whose life is just a crumpled leaf
we’re in first class to belsen, ordering aperitifs

[outro]
[?]
casualties
casualties of being there
