The lines are getting longer
For the poor and the dispossessed
As the men about the kitchen
juggle sauce for more is less
And it’s nowhere near better
As the vultures hold and swoop
On the nearest hapless fellow
drinking cruelty soup ‑ cruelty soup
Hi ho ‑ here we go
Another cup of soup you beknighted blighter
Hi ho ‑ here we go
No bread roll ‑ draw your belt in tighter
Hi ho ‑ here we go
Have you got the strength left to be a fighter
Toodle ‑oodle ooo ‑ ‑ Toodle ‑oodle ooo
The beat is getting stronger
As the war drums coalesce
And the call goes out for heroes
Nothing more and nothing less
And they’ll say the fight is sacred
And they’ll say that we are right
And they’ll want to shock and awe you
Into...... “ Darkness is Light” ‑ “Darkness IS Light.”
Hi ho ‑ here we go
It’s not just happening in a far off country
Hi ho ‑ here we go
Take a look around we’re the hundreth monkey
Hi ho ‑ here we go
How long .............. how long .... How long ....... how long
Will this go on......... The lines are getting longer and they’re getting out of line.
