Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The Moonies are up on a mountain
The lunatics have taken over the asylum
Waiting on a rapture
[Verse 2]
Singing, "We're here to keep your prices down
Feed ya to the hounds
To the Daily Mail," together, together
[Verse 3]
You made a pig's ear, you made a mistake
Paid off security and got through the gate
You got away with it, but we lie in wait, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey-hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
[Verse 4]
Where's the truth? What's the use
In hanging round? Lost and found with your head in the sand
Fat chance, no plan
No regard for human life
Keep trying, you've no right
Fast and loose, win or lose
Jumped the queue, go back again
President, for life
Lord of all that flies in the sky
The beasts of earth,
The fish in the sea
You've lost command, huh, huh
Huh, huh, huh-uh, huh
Huh, huh, huh-uh, huh
Huh, huh, huh-uh, huh
Written by: Colin Greenwood, Ed O'Brien, Jonny Greenwood, Philip Selway, Thom Yorke
