lyrics

wake up you blighters
you should be ringing in the change
wakey wakey sleepy people
you could be bringing down the hateful abstract politics
you bitch about
like suicidal icicles weakened by the sun
if you shine bright and hot you beggers
instead of playing dumb

so chin chin
here's to us
there's clearly too damn few
to fracture the reality of this bread and circus fugue
chin chin
here's to us
though clearly too damn few
bottoms up and down girls
let's make tomorrows news

if you cannot beat them
join them as a flagellant and muse
throw an act together
use your talent to bamboozal and confuse
your contemporary syndicate
with smoke and splintered mirrors
to stupify the crowd
breaking hallowed new ground over what's already ploughed

so chin chin
here's to us
there's clearly too damn few
to fracture the reality of this bread and circus fugue
chin chin
here's to us
though clearly too damn few
bottoms up and down girls
let's make tomorrows news

so lets toast the revolution that's sure to come around again
when some oter bugger can be bothered
to stand up and defend
objecdtions to the sell off
of moral high ground you developed
because it has such a lovely view
well if not today
tomorrow
when there's less for us to do

so chin chin
here's to us
there's clearly too damn few
to fracture the reality of this bread and circus fugue
chin chin
here's to us
though clearly too damn few
bottoms up and down girls
let's make tomorrows news

bottoms up and down girls
let's make tomorrows news
