Constitutional Hell

Everything fits nicely into place
Higher powers take the lead
Middleman sits pondering his worth
One great scheme to stem the objective urge

Decision making
Power playing
One upmanship

Show of hands
To clasp the myth
Vote in a new scourge

Everything fits nicely into place
Higher powers take the lead
Issues are decided before we've chance to think
Moral high ground wins the day again

Decision making
And power playing
Principles spurned

Show of hands
To clasp the myth
Favors for my friends

It's a constitutional hell
Where they pontificate and yell
Where etiquettes outplay integrity
It's a constitutional hell

It's a constitutional hell
Real place is brought to the plans
That's where you excel or not in contention
It's a constitutional hell

Everything fits nicely into place
Higher powers take the lead
I'll sum up on all the good
You've done this earth

Everything fits nicely into place
Higher powers take the lead
Middleman sits pondering his worth
One great scheme to stem the objective urge

Nothing, nothing
