Jarvis Cocker

"Running the world"

Well, did you hear

there's a natural order?

those most deserving

will end up with the most

That the cream cannot help

but always rise up to the top?

Well I say...shit floats

If you thought things had changed

friend, you'd better think again

Bluntly put in the fewest of words:

Chorus: Cunts are still running the world (bis)

Now the working classes are obsolete

they are surplus to society's needs

so let'em all, kill each other

and get it made overseas

That's the word don't you know?

From the guys that's running the show

Let's be perfectly clear boys and girls:

Chorus

Oh feed your children on cryfish and lobster tails

Find a school near the top of the league

In theory, Y respect your right to exist-

I will kill you if you move in next to me.

ah, it stinks, yeah, it sucks,

It's anthropologically unjust,

oh but the takings are up by a third,

Chorus ( x 2)

The free market is perfectly natural,

Do you think that I'm some kind of dummy?

It's the ideal way to order the world;

Fuck the morals, does it make any money?

And if you don't like it? Then leave,

or use your right to protest on the street

Yeah, use your right, but don't imagine

that it's heard

Not whilst cunts are still running the world

Cunts are still running the world

Cunts are still running the world

Cunts are still running the world

Cunts are still running the world
