Lyrics
Welcome everyone to tonight’s debate
I’ve got a feeling that something is going to break
We’ve got some bleeding hearts out here on my left
And then a racist tells you he’s talking common sense
It’s not common sense
I’m the chair, respect my suit and tie
I’m so impartial I don’t come here to take sides
I’m adding nothing,
I’m taking nothing away
While the masters of division
are multiplying again
We’re still playing their games... they go
Here are some words that the world’s been waiting
Here are some words that the world’s been waiting
Here are some words that the world’s been waiting for..
It’s alright it really is
No it’s not
But we might as well act like it
‘Cause you know being a realist
Well it ain’t really gonna help with anything
It’s alright it really is
Kim jong un’s got a nuclear warhead
It’s ok he’s just posturing
He’s measuring his nob but we’ve got a bigger one
Ladies and gentlemen now you’re all vexed up
Let’s take a question from that shifty guy at the back
On today’s front page there’s something I oppose
There’s no substance in his question
the substance is all in his nose
And that’s why our panel seem to know exactly what he’s talking about
Now Calm Down, don’t you talk over me
I’ll point my pen at you I’m David Dimbleby
This is my circus and you, you are my clowns
So Speak when your spoken to
but right now shut up and sit down
It’s all gone wrong it really has
Come on mate, you’ve gotta put a smile on it
Nah, you know being a pessimist
Well it might just help us identify a problem before it occurs
It’s all gone wrong it really has
Help us Jesus or Buddha or Superman
‘Cause you know being a Cartoonist
You can pull out a truth you won’t see in a photograph
It’s alright it really is
We’ve got to bomb the hell out of something
‘Cause you know being a pacafist
Well that won’t make anyone rich
Well we’ve not really got to the bottom or frankly agreed about anything but we’re out of time so you know, roll the credits. Next time we’ll be discussing the existential status of the soul, specifically in relation to gingers. Tune in the to find out more when we’ll be coming at you from Canterbury where our audience think they’re better than you. I’m inclined to agree.
