Margarine Lyrics

Watch us

As we synchronise our watches

And watch our idiosyncrasies

We idolise security

More security

We'll secure ourselves the peerages

Then peer down the cleavages

As we cleave in two our promises

What promises?

It's always prom night in our offices

We are officially stiff-lipped

As we worship some old dead men

All those dead men

They are creeping up behind you

We're creeping up beside you

Peripheral

Watch out

We're creeping up behind you

We're creeping up beside you

Peripheral

Watch out

We love to hate and break things

We break into escape rooms

Scapegoat the minorities

Miners and their progenies

Protect our generation

We love rationing and ploughman's

Let's plough the void inside us

We only side with the victorious

We are curious about nothing

Think only of our taxes

So tactless and vindictive

Distinguished by our hatred

We're creeping up behind you

We're creeping up beside you

Peripheral

Watch out

We're creeping up behind you

We're creeping up beside you

Peripheral

Watch out

And if we can make ourselves the victims

We can victimise the margins

And then margarine the ladders

For the ones who come behind us

And if we can make ourselves the victims

We can victimise the margins

And then margarine the ladders

We only tolerate our own deviancy

And if we deviate from the truth sometimes

These times cry out for safety

So save this date in your diary

And diarise the anniversary

Of the death of every refugee

We've refused entry and saved our public from

And if our public schools and networks

Net us the workers' savings

We are only here to save them

From themselves

They can't be trusted

Trust us

This place is busted

We're creeping up behind you

We're creeping up beside you

Peripheral

Watch out

We're creeping up behind you

We're creeping up beside you

Peripheral

Watch out
