Well guys wearing gas masks are levelling them guns

At school children sing while studying sums

It's a clear sign of violence and it's laced with heavy support

This whole situation's been dragged though the dirt

By gargoyles and monsters and man-eating birds

Who act like the jury but you never see them stand up in court



Chorus:

Well it's savage and ugly, the riots unfurl

But these are the ways of this wonderful world

These are the days, of this wonderful world



Now back at their banquet the madam meets her fate

Whilst almost a mile from a country estate

The helpless and homeless are dancing their ring in the rain

Whilst hunted by pressures from old man abroad

Fifty five of them ministers are trying to reach accord

On some ill-judged remark concerning madam baby lorraine



Chorus



Consignments of bibles and passenger planes

Japanese funerals and gamboling games

Backers and bidders are dealing in textiles and lace

They order reviews that will salvage the state

Can't seem to put off and cast off their capes?

While the latest concerns are reports of slack cutting? pace



Chorus
