Termites

Eight in the morning
The noise in the street sounding like hell
They’re digging the sidewalk
The forth time, the fifth time who could tell!

They are like termites
Looking for food without a rest
Tearing the ground up
Tomorrow their task will be the same

A new day’s beginning in my town
I’ll have to get up early feeling down
The bus is late as ever I feel worse
The tube is full of people let us walk!

Tell me when our leaders
Will act a way that we could understand
They claim to be prepared
To know what’s good or bad our lives

And when the council
Sends you a note, it’s a bad sign
Citizen, dear
Hear’s a new tax if you don’t mind

Tomorrow you´ll pay more at the parking meter
The council cares for you like a baby-sitter
And if you have a problem don’t you worry
Hear’s a good idea just too fine

Tell me when our leaders
Will talk about good mews for a change
Tell me it will be never
Cos we are always loosing all the same

And if you stand up
They’ll label you a “social disgrace”
You hairy young man
The almighty ones don’t like your face

Have to by carefully
Or you’ll be sent to a nasty place

Tell me when our leaders
Will talk about good mews for a change
Tell me it will be never
Cos we are always loosing all the same
