Phil Bearce

Lyrics

Ex-pats they all scatter
They seem to know this tune
When idiots are in charge
Underneath a frightened moon
Crumbling bridges
False kingdom of ash
With the blind leading the blind
Their pockets full of cash

Oh, when the morons hold the keys
Say goodbye to reason, goodbye to peace
Raise your glass, then kiss your ass goodbye
Bye bye liberty’s light

Unelected assholes
Government gets hijacked
Promises whispered
But then they’ll stab you in the back
They're busy with their laughter
Drunk on their schemes
While the world turns sour
Dissolving our dreams

Oh, when the morons hold the keys
Say goodbye to reason, goodbye to peace
Raise your glass, then kiss your ass goodbye
Bye bye liberty’s light

The wolves are laughing
The sheep are staying still
With every word they say
Their poisoned words distill
Untrust in the mirrors
Smoke in the trees
This ship will keep sinking
In these dead man seas

Oh, when the morons hold the keys
Say goodbye to reason, goodbye to peace
Raise your glass, then kiss your ass goodbye
Bye bye liberty’s light

When the smart ones stay silent
The idiots will play - has history taught us nothing?
