The Powers That Be

Those at ''The Top'' may have a degree Whatever you think ''The Top'' to be Groomed and smart but looking so tense Because they have no common sense Common sense is overlooked Possessors of it ? - Their goose is cooked This is because the powers that be Have no common sense you see The powers that be always say The subject ''Economy'' won't go away In fact they give me a pain in the tooth 'Economical' only with the truth ! Where's the next war coming from ? We need another place to bomb That is where our money goes Creating death and a thousand woes Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan Look what happened in Vietnam The ''Politics'' game fills me with frisson Just one question - why don't they listen....? The powers that be always say Creating war is the only way Making themselves a whole lot of money On OUR taxes - it ISN'T funny Then having made mistakes galore THEIR troubles are brought to YOUR door As for me ? - MY only fix ? Stay away from politics....
