Jarvis Cocker - Running The World
Well did you hear, there's a natural order
Those most deserving will end up with the most
That the cream cannot help but always rise up to the top
Well I say, "Shit floats"
If you thought things had changed
Friend, you'd better think again
Bluntly put, in the fewest of few words:
Cunts are still running the world (x3)
Now the working classes are obsolete
They are surplus to society's needs
So let 'em all kill each other
And get a maid overseas.
That's the word, don't you know
From the guys that's running the show
Let's be perfectly clear boys and girls,
Cunts are still running the world (x2)
Oh feed your children on crayfish and lobster tails,
Find a school near the top of the league
In theory I respect your right to exist
I will kill you if you move in next to me
Ah, it stinks, it sucks, it's anthropologically unjust
Oh, but the takings are up by a third, oh so
Cunts are still running the world (x2)
If free market is perfectly natural
Or do you think that I'm some kind of dummy
It's the ideal way to order the world
"Fuck the morals, does it make any money?"
And if you don't like it, then leave
Or use your right to protest on the street.
Yeah use your right, but don't imagine that it's heard
Cunts are still running the world (x6)
Those most deserving will end up with the most
That the cream cannot help but always rise up to the top
Well I say, "Shit floats"
If you thought things had changed
Friend, you'd better think again
Bluntly put, in the fewest of few words:
Cunts are still running the world (x3)
Now the working classes are obsolete

So let 'em all kill each other
And get a maid overseas.

Oh feed your children on crayfish and lobster tails,
Find a school near the top of the league

Ah, it stinks, it sucks, it's anthropologically unjust
Oh, but the takings are up by a third, oh so

Or use your right to protest on the street.
Yeah use your right, but don't imagine that it's heard
