|
Another dawn, another date |
|
Another meeting of the old G8 |
|
To change the world, make history |
|
Not compromise or hesitate |
|
Try something, try anything |
|
Try help the situation |
|
Amidst the cries and demonstrations |
|
We hear the plans of favoured nations |
|
"If it could be done", they said, "the sooner then, the better" |
|
"It would be good if it was better than the way it was before" they said |
|
In the mire all together, when there's so much to admire |
|
It seems "the emperor's new clothes" is such a seasonable attire |
|
The issues are of great import |
|
The problems very clear |
|
From fevered minds and tortured brows |
|
There's such a lot to fear |
|
From climate change to debt relief |
|
Surely couldn't come much bigger |
|
All the power that is nuclear |
|
Whose finger's on the trigger? |
|
On the horns of this dilemma with death's spectre in the wings |
|
Where democracy is waning, clearly it's a "people thing" |
|
Yes, we're in it all together and all our wishes are laid bare |
|
We taste "the truth without the trimmings" and we find it meager fare |
|
Welcome to "a day in the life show", starring you and me and all |
|
It's better than your realiTV, you just couldn't make this stuff up |
|
As pandemics spread around the world |
|
We've got pestilence, famine, fire and flood for the people in glasshouses |
|
Now the good will is all over and we're left with nothing good |
|
It seems "the best laid plans of mice and men" get trampled in the mud |
|
Yes, we're in it all together, right up to our nether lip |
|
In this cesspit we inhabit, only takes a slip |
|
"If it could be done", they said, "the sooner then, the better" |
|
"It would be good if it was better than the way it was before" they said |
|
They said nothing too explicit, there's no meat upon the bones |
|
"We'll just have to wait and see", they said, "just see how it goes...", they said |
|
Well what are we waiting for? |
