lyrics

The Swedes have hit the pop charts
And I'm hanging out with old farts
Liking the music of the past

Loving home and country
And I cannot get my country
This rotten shambles cannot last

No longer weeping about it
Fearfully I'm often laughing about it

Over and over
The wool is pulled down
A little further than the time before

All expert opinions have been laid to rest

The troops lined up outside
Waiting for the party to begin
Pretty soon they all doubled up
And cloned around for the cameras

...putting pictures in my life
Making themselves the mother
Of a blinding situation

So guarded
In the rec room I've got a wreck's womb
It's my policy to think about you
But how many promises are broken
After you leave the campaign trail

..and now I'm

No longer weeping
No longer holding
Weights and shackles
To ensure debacles,
Petrification and about-facin'

I have turned a leaf
That will not
Wilt until I
Fall back into these...

Blues have hit the pop charts
And I'm hanging out with old farts
Liking the music of the past

Loving home and country
And I cannot get my country
It cannot last

I'm old before my time
The unemployment line
Situation's fine
