lyrics

P-p-pick up a cliché, p-p-pick up a rhyme
It's p-p-p-p-p-p-p-Pachelbel time

Half the world thinks the other half's wrong
Nobody really gets along
We're just dying to cause a stink
I think that's what a lot of people think

The system is designed to fail
And no-one's getting bail
You wither and you shrink
I think that's what a lot of people think

I just wanna have some fun
Looking after number one
I'm boring without a drink
I think that's what a lot of people think

Even if you're monarchy
You kid yourself you can be free
Every armour has a chink
I think that's what a lot of people think

I'm struggling to keep a grip
On this sinking ship
I feel I'm on the brink
I think that's what a lot of people think

It doesn't matter what I say
No-one hears me anyway
I am the weakest link
I think that's what a lot of people think

The more you climb towards the top
The more you have to drop
You'll tumble if you blink
I think that's what a lot of people think

There are royal parasites,
Monks and lawyers, fly-by knights
In the cloister, in the clink
I think that's what a lot of people think

It's not what, but who you know
That predetermines this whole show
A nod here and there a wink
I think that's what a lot of people think

Keep up appearances and smile
Maintain a mask, adopt a style
Pretend you're in the pink
I think that's what a lot of people think

And when the cloud disintegrates
And we're at the pearly gates
At least there's no further to sink
I think that's what a lot of people think

I think that's what a lot of people think
