Little white lies - they hold little surprise
CHORUS
Good things come in threes
The places I haunt - the powers I taunt
And the little I need - I need!
Where the arrogance of presidents - drive with the top down
And pop singers bite bullets - and pops kiss the ground
The most favoured nations - should be atheists
Not the penny pinch manipulators - of the fundamentalists
CHORUS
For everyone spotted - ten get missed
The deeper you look - the longer the list
And the CNN calling card - red herring day, "No news today"
Somebody somewhere indirectly directs them on their way
Stand up a token figure - and twist whatever they say
CHORUS
Pin it on no one - it doesn't matter anyway
How many political despots worked for the USA
And who controls down South America way
and who controls the modern Russian way
Death in the streets, death is a project
All in the weak, the poor, the rich, the racist
and free thought should be looked upon
As an enemy
Because free thought went to jail, long ago
What a pity
The spider's kiss, the White House astrologists
How many political despots worked for the CIA
The spider's kiss, the White House astrologists
F*ck, it's the CIA
CHORUS
