"Napalm Death. The Great and the Good.

Take 23. Maximum distortion"

Stinking to the bowels of high heaven

Creeping to the giants of status

Guarding protection of interests - not you!

Not you or anything that might be misconstrued (as help)

Marching through the ashes of conquests

Slapping the backs of the empire men

Selling our consent in the process - that's you!

That is you and everything you'd be reduced to do

A pledge is a pledge

But only 'til it doesn't suit your friends

The art of double-talk

Adamant on what you really meant

A pledge is a pledge is a pledge is a pledge

For lesser, the poorer

Pluck out their eyes - they offend

'Dumb' animals can't precede the lucre in barbaric tests

Big noise says jump now

The chasm is never too high or wide

The corporate slow-killer

Punished with a lenient smile

A pledge is a pledge is a pledge is a pledge

The arrogance, the hand in hands of despotic

Freaks that defend

An oversight where human rights fall at the fence

Of 'good trade'

Yes man? Always.

Drop the high and mighty façade

Do the decent thing

Consider mouthing one word of truth

Blow open the grand scheme

Yes man? Always. Yes man? Always. Yes man? Always.

Drop the high and mighty façade

Do the decent thing

Consider mouthing one word of truth

Blow open the grand scheme

A pledge is a pledge is a pledge is a pledge

The man in the bubble smiles - berates the condemned

Back to his crusade, fights off more cries of dissent

Yes man? Always.
