Immaculate Fools
Political Wish
I'm making a political wish
And I wish it all down on you
I'm getting so sick of it all
You're not worth the shit on my shoe
You'll never fool a man like me
I'm getting too long in the tooth
Politicians may come
Policians may go
But the song remains the same
On the political roadshow
Someday I'll be above it all
Maybe someday I'll be above it all
Facts of art and life below the line
The censor cuts with blunted knife
Things you don't see never happen
Flashing lights may keep you other wise occupied
The truth may shift
But still it fights on
Give a helping hand if
It needs a home
So dance on fools
Cover your eyes
While things that count lay brutalised
Someday I'll be above it all
Maybe someday I'll be above it all
Sometimes I look in magazines
To see who I can be this week
But the face in the mirror won't fit
It doesn't look a bit like me
I'll try to be handsome on the inside
Where no one else can see
I'll bang my heart and punch my face
And once more dream myself to sleep
Someday I'll be above it all
Maybe someday I'll be above it all
