You forgot to censor yourself with your limited brain And there's a look upon your face That says that you can't take the strain What's that look upon your face? No, this is not the good old days What did we do to you to deserve this? You're doing everything you can to preserve this You look out for your mates and yourself and that's natural, I'd say But then you trample over the less well off and downtrodden they stay You forgot to mention the fact that inequality remains And opportunity rarely knocks if Your background is viewed with disdain What's that look upon your face? No, this is not the good old days What did we do to you to deserve this? You're doing everything you can to preserve this Let's all pretend to tell the truth Above all, I hope I've been of use What's that look upon your face? No, this is not the good old days What did we do to you to deserve this? You're doing everything in your power to preserve this Let's all pretend to tell the truth Above all, well I hope I've been of use
