Heads of State
Album: Worlds Apart l.p.
Release Date: 1985
Down in the basement in the house with the police outside
There's something secret hidden away
In various crates in a paralysed state
Are the heads for the mood of the day
There's one full of piety and one for anxiety
And one for when we're heading for war
And one for the masses and the privelaged classes
And one that does nothing at all
The replacable heads are for the government leaders
Who always seem to change their politics
Like the head for the nation doesn't deal with immigration
Cos patriots and riots don't mix
And when the head for the day sais 'I'll do it this way'
Remember the replacable head
Cos when they get elected their decisions are rejected
Completely contradicting what they said
So don't trust the politicians
They don't make their own decisions
Cos they haven't even got their heads screwed on
For everything that's said its just another head
And a politician's words can be replaced
But then maybe I am wrong I mean this is just a song
Is it just that politicians are two-faced?
