A judge a dentist or physician

In this low society

Trade ambition for position

In this low society



Have you heard it's in the stars

Next July we collide with Mars

Have you heard it in the bars

In this low society



No more pay and lots of leisure

In this low society



Low society



I'm just doing what I can

In this low society

But I'm an incidental man

In this low society



I give away what others sell

The secret's yours so never tell

'Cos if you do you'll go to hell

Low society



Side by side and always tired

All for one and no-one hired

All that's left is love inspired

Low society



And when the party is complete

And you're still standing on your feet

The taste of victory is sweet

Low society



And darling don't forget

In this low society

To turn off your T.V. set

In this low society



The most important thing at all

In this low society

Is not to stand too tall

In this low society



In this world that never learns

I can see Rome as it burns

All the passion and the power

Turns to ash within an hour



No more play and no more pleasure

In this low society
