THE GUNPOWDER PLOT

Men of straw in a house of cards
Secret police and security guards
Hide the truth behind closed doors
Of complex lies and splendid wars
And remote control media facades
The yes men agreed and obeyed
To Mr. Cowards moral crusade
They blame the problem they create
Distort the facts and legislate
And dream of all the money they've made

We need another gunpowder plot
Blow their cover, expose the lot
Avenge for all the lies
And blow them to the skies
See the whites of their eyes
Gunpowder plot
Gunpowder plot, gunpowder plot
We need another gunpowder plot, oh yeah

The best laid plans of mice and men
Are tucked away inside number ten
The rats don't leave a sinking ship
They increase the membership
Cover up and do it again
Your wallet dictates who you elect
For that's where you keep your intellect
Another shift to the right
Middle class, male and white
You're the ones that it don't affect

We need another gunpowder plot
Blow their cover, expose the lot
Avenge for all the lies
And blow them to the skies
See the whites of their eyes
Gunpowder plot
Gunpowder plot, gunpowder plot
We need another gunpowder plot, oh yeah Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah Gunpowder plot
