How stupid is that


I've got hours to live 
And they won't let me drink 
My tongue is board stiff
What do you think 
It's like talking to the cat
How fucking stupid is that 

The council are planting plastic grass 
Chopping down trees 
for betterment sake 
How stupid is that 
Make a man mountain 
By digging a lake 

The hacks and the liars 
and the things they spout 
When I turn on the Telly 
I just want to shout 
Because it's mean and fallacious 
and a load of crap 
The queen is a racist 
How stupid is that 
How fucking stupid
stupid is that 

I'm dying going down 
I am on the brink 
I've served my country 
I just want a drink 
But the nurse says no 
It might be dangerous 
He's got to ask the doc 
But the doc is playing golf 
Cos they don't do weekends 
on the national health 
How fucking stupid 
What they playing at?
How fucking stupid 
Stupid is that?

Welcome to the circus 
Pen pushers rule the earth 
And stay at home do gooders 
Are even worse 
They wanna change the world 
for the better you bet 
But they can't turn off
The TV set 
So some politician 
has to be their change 
Don't you think that's a little bit strange 
They should go back to school 
To stand on the mat 
While saying out loud 
How stupid is that 

How stupid is the rule 
Which elevates the fool 
Which institutes the Berk 
which blunts all his tools 
Which leads him or her to meetings 
where they have one song
The models are written 
by a guy who got it wrong 
I say it out loud 
with my dying rasp
Because it just don't work 
and that's a fact 
How fucking stupid 
Stupid is that
How fucking stupid 
Stupid is that

They need my bed
They can have it 
Just get rid of me 
I'm sick of this shit
Served my country 
To be abused and spat at 
How fucking stupid 
Stupid is that.
