Running the World - Jarvis Cocker

Well did you hear, there’s a natural order

Those most deserving will end up with the most

That the cream cannot help but always rise up to the top

Well I say, «Shit floats»

If you thought things had changed

Friend, you better think again

Bluntly put, in the fewest of words

Cunts are still running the world

Cunts are still running the world

Now the working classes are obsolete

They are surplus to society’s needs

So let 'em all kill each other

And get it made overseas

That’s the word, don’t you know

From the guys that’s running the show

Let’s be perfectly clear boys and girls

Cunts are still running the world

Cunts are still running the world

Ah yeah

Oh yeah

Well feed your children on crayfish and lobster tails

Find a school near the top of the league

In theory I respect your right to exist

I will kill ya if ya' move in next to me

Ah, it stinks, it sucks, it’s anthropologically unjust

Oh, but the takings are up by a third, oh so

Cunts are still running the world

Cunts are still running the world

(Cunts are still running the world

Cunts are still running the world)

The free market is perfectly natural

Do you think that I’m some kind of dummy?

It’s the ideal way to order the world

«Fuck the morals, does it make any money?»

And if you don’t like it, then leave

Or use your right to protest on the street

Yeah use your right, but don’t imagine that it’s heard

Cunts are still running the world

Cunts are still running the world

Cunts are still running the world

Cunts are still running the world

Cunts are still running the world

Cunts are still running the world
