The Great And The Good-Napalm Death

Stinking to the bowels of high heaven Creeping to the giants of status Guarding protection of interests - not you Not you or anything that might be misconstrued (as help) Marching through the ashes of conquests Slapping the backs of the empire men Selling our consent in the process - that's you That is you and everything you'd be reduced to do A pledge is a pledge But only 'til it doesn't suit your friends The art of double-talk Adamant on what you really meant A pledge is a pledge is a pledge is a pledge For lesser, the poorer Pluck out their eyes - they offend "Dumb" animals can't precede the lucre in barbaric tests Big noise says jump now The chasm is never too high or wide The corporate slow-killer Punished with a lenient smile A pledge is a pledge is a pledge is a pledge The arrogance, the hand in hands of despotic freaks that defend An oversight where human rights fall at the fence of "good trade" Yes man? Always. Drop the high and mighty facade Do the dect thing Consider mouthing one word of truth Blow open the grand scheme Yes man? Always. Yes man? Always. Yes man? Always Drop the high and mighty facade Do - the decent thing Consider mouthing one word of truth Blow open the grand scheme A pledge is a pledge is a pledge is a pledge The man in the bubble smiles - berates the condemned Back to his crusade, fights off more cries of dissent.
