Cynical World

from Plan B by Thermal And A Quarter

/

lyrics

It's a cynical world
All the stops have been taken out, it's all a swirl
Well-dressed generals making speeches, referendums, proxy verbal wars
You don't have to be too bright to know it's all a farce

The poor get poorer the right get higher
Keep up with me if you can
Nobody cares about your fire
Unless you want to be part of their plan

What are we going to do, before it's too late
(Before it's too late)
We've got to stand up, join hands and tempt fate
(We've got to tempt fate)
No more eulogies, fancy fake poetry
(No poetry)
We've got to get off our backsides now

Right here right now, baby,
Take off all your clothes and give me some love
That's what's expected of us, are you wearing rubber gloves
Lingerie catalogue fantasy girl, be my wife, if only for a while

Who's got time for love, let's just get in bed
Instant satisfaction, chivalry is dead
Ella's gone, gone for ever, she's taken all her songs
We'll have assembly-line babies not before long

What are we going to do, before it's too late
(Before it's too late)
We've got to stand up, join hands and tempt fate
(We've got to tempt fate)
No more eulogies, fancy fake poetry
(No poetry)
We've got to get off our backsides now
