Everything fits nicely into place

Higher powers take the lead

Middleman sit, pondering his worth

One great scheme to stem (the) objective urge



Decision-making

and power playing

One up-manship



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 a 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



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
