lyrics

You liked how it felt to be a powerful man
You did everything in moderation
You weren't given the truth
You wouldn't return it
And nobody trusts you
That's why we need you

You can sit on council bench
You're not my leader
You can sit on council bench
But you don't rule me

And you can sing for your supper, little monkey in the music hall
Piggy in the dancehall, piggy in the ballroom
Feel the bile rising in your throat as you know your life is nearly over
It's nearly over, it's nearly over

You can sit on council bench
You're not my leader
You can sit on council bench
But you don't rule me

You say you want peace
But you break it
By talking too much
You talk too much
And what you give with one hand the other takes away
And you call it diplomatic
Call it diplomatic
Call it diplomatic
Immunity

You can sit on council bench
But you don't rule me
You can sit on council bench
You'll never rule me
You don't rule me
You don;t rule me
You dotn rlue me
Youndont rule me
Yu dnt rue me
You dt rluwe eam
You sint' tile mw
