Something's Gotta Give

How can you tell me that this is where it's at

When all the clowns are calling the shots?

How can you sell me that this is the dream

When all the dreamers are left out to rot?

Lining of pockets and no care for how we live

Things can't stay the same, something's gotta give

There's crisis with the heads of the table

And we can't seem to solve them

Is it for welfare of all or is it just for personal gain?

And all the pieces of chess in the middle

Bare the weight of the problem

Divided opinions on who should go and who should remain

And across the pond the king is a freak

And he's loaded with silver

Stood on an empire of gold

Performing his own puppet show

And while his mongrels, they bark for the promises he's failed to deliver

The ones who oppose him stand bewildered and nowhere to go

How can you tell me that this is where it's at

When all the clowns are calling the shots?

How can you sell me that this is the dream

When all the dreamers are left out to rot?

Lining of pockets and no care for how we live

Things can't stay the same, something's gotta give

Sick and tired of the bad news stories

Sick and tired of the crooked Tories

Is there anyone out there with half a jar?

And for the many that have raised the issues

Or disposed of like discarded tissues

Don't you think that maybe this time it's gone to far?

How can you tell me that this is where it's at

When all the clowns are calling the shots?

How can you sell me that this is the dream

When all the dreamers are left out to rot?

Lining of pockets and no care for how we live

Things can't stay the same, something's gotta give
