Another fine timing for a step into line <br />
For four budding young stars who've just found the time <br />
An old tune and shit words, as long as they rhyme <br />
Well just watch them boys because they can't fail this time <br />
Well I've heard all the screams of another barmy army <br />
But who sits in hotels with champagne and salami? <br />
It only leaves you to be the one who's barmy <br />
You're being led on to make a superstars fortune <br />
Yeah, we live in dead cities, and the streets are grey <br />
But I don't need Top of the Pops to make me think that way <br />
I can see this rebellion on my TV screen <br />
But no sign of a future for you and me <br />
A slight reflection of the past, but that didn't last <br />
Because the people who mattered weren't rolled in the cast <br />
They're lining up another lot, all idols who <br />
Will be nailing down the coffin on me and you <br />
You tell me about the Conflict barmy army. <br />
Well, excuse me if I laugh, but I think it's rather funny <br />
That when the businessman farts the punters go running <br />
We are just the latest pile of shit; can't you see what's coming? <br />
The businessmen whisper from backroom thrones <br />
Their long grasping tentacles are hungry and strong <br />
Top chart hits and in future, we can't go wrong <br />
But it's only their wallets that get fat on our songs <br />
Does it really matter about the businessman side? <br />
I don't really give a fuck, if punk's dead or alive. <br />
Top chart hits and future, they can do that for you. <br />
But just ask this question, is it false or is it true?
