lirik lagu peter hammill - the old school tie

oh the bright young man in the tight-b-ttoned suit
the light beams out from capped smiles to the shines
on their lick-spittle books
oh these sharp young sparks with their fresh rosettes
yeh, the artful ways that they promise the earth
to all suffragettes –
what they won’t promise we don’t know yet.
they say they’re build – and shaping society
but we know they’re just saving for their own
safe home in politics
anything goes: look at them run.
come from every side, noses pinocchio clean;
lock in synchromesh, oil the wheels and the gears
of the party machine.
and the final goal is a cabinet seat…
in the trappings of power, the presumption to speak
for the man in the street.
once they move in, they’re in for good;
yeh, once they get that bed made it’s a
safe home in politics.
jobs for the boys: look at them run.
there’s just one thing none of us should forget:
a political man is just in it for the power
and the smell of sucess.
sure, some start out as idealists –
pretty soon they all cop for ideal careers and
a safe home in politics,
a cusky job in politics;
look at them run.
the politicians fight it out on the couning tower
but they all agree not to rock the boat.
a safe home in politics
it’s built on your vote
