for once they'll have a newer better song
to celebrate the turning of the tide
they'll do it loudly but they'll do it wrong
we think it good to leave behind the throng
and snuggle safe and warm right here inside
for once they'll have a newer better song
it won't be obvious and it won't be long
and there'll be nothing left for us to hide
they'll do it loudly but they'll do it wrong
the last one in will listen for the gong
and won't a single syllable elide
for once they'll have a newer better song
you'll pay your fare and then you'll go along
not one thing said will be inept or snide
they'll do it loudly but they'll do it wrong
who once were weak now claim to be the strong
you know quite well they'll take you for a ride
for once they have a newer better song
they'll do it loudly but they'll do it wrong
(C)2007, Fragano Ledgister
