In Recognition of your 100 million album sales |
|
In Recognition of your popularity |
|
You take your gaudy prize from people you said you despised |
|
You wear your self-respect upon your bended knees. |
|
In spite of all your claims |
|
It looks like you're just the same |
|
As every other clown, who likes put the crown |
|
Before or after their name. |
|
In Recognition of your service to the working class |
|
In Recognition of your party loyalty |
|
You get an ermine robe and you declare when you are probed |
|
You only took it so the missus would be pleased |
|
In spite of all your claims |
|
It looks like you're just the same |
|
As every other clown, who likes put the crown |
|
Before or after their names. |
|
Ohhhhhh Vanity |
|
It gets them one by one |
|
Patronage and |
|
Monarchy And all they entail, rarely fail |
|
In Recognition of your bravery up on the stage |
|
In Recognition of your bank ability |
|
You get to wait in lines with soldiers crippled by land mines |
|
And you think it's the yanks that don't get irony |
|
In spite of all your claims |
|
It looks like you're just the same |
|
As every other clown, who likes put the crown |
|
Before or after their names. |
|
In spite of all your claims |
|
It looks like you're just the same |
|
As every other clown, who likes put the crown |
|
Before or after their names. |
|
Their name |
|
Their name |
|
Their name |
