The Republic - Gang Of Four

Make the grade in our republic

We all are loyal subjects

The paper stirring dregs of no great causes

Action is none of my business

I’m unconcerned with what’s in store

(I don’t give a shit what’s in store)

I’m unconcerned with what’s in store

Better take smaller chances

And bugger with the consequences

Between the insults whirr and click

Connections made — some stick

Nationals in our republic

We all see the same subject

Each day we reason up some other causes

Action is none of my business

I’m unconcerned with what’s in store

(I don’t give a shit what’s in store)

I’m unconcerned with what’s in store

Better take smaller chances

And bugger with the consequences

Between the insults whirr and click

Connections made — some stick

Know your place in our republic

Talk of the future is our main subject

Rations — we’d like more but we make less noises

Action is none of my business

I’m unconcerned with what’s in store

(I don’t give a shit what’s in store)

I’m unconcerned with what’s in store

Better take smaller chances

And bugger the consequences

Between the insults whirr and click

Connections made — some stick
