I remember those days in school
You passed exams. I played the fool
Education’s a bitter pill
Swallow it whole and you might get ill
Season to taste. Use a long, long spoon
Don’t sing the words if you don’t know the tune
You’ve no sparkle, no joie de vivre
You never questioned. You never lived

God help you

You sailed to Sussex, beyond the pale
You’re teaching Tory and you take the Daily Mail
Just forget us. Make sure we’re gone
It’s your taxes that we’re living on
Arm policemen and arm yourself
Protect your family. Protect your wealth
You’re a shareholder now. That’s a start
A treasure island of which you’re a tiny, tiny part

God help you. Bland, bland Pugh

Public issues and private woes
What’s all that about. Well heaven knows
It’s a connection that you can’t see
You can’t blame ignorance so blame stupidity
Here’s the black spot. Now pass it on
You’re teaching lessons but you’re learning none
So don’t ask questions. It’s not the norm
Remain no wiser even when you’re better informed

God help you. Bland, Bland Pugh
