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

And 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

And 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 etiquette outplays integrity

It's a constitutional hell

It's a constitutional hell

Where mere pennies are thrown to the plebs

Expenditure on hollow conjecture

It's a constitutional hell

Everything fits nicely into place

Higher powers take the lead

Sleeping giants show their real worth

I'll sum up on all the good you've done this earth

Nothing!

Nothing!
