Kev Carmody - Pillars of Society lyrics

The pillars of society Cruise down the road each day; They got the economic wherewithall We can't afford to pay They got numbered bank accounts Their system a**ures they win They exploit the population we on the outside lookin' in Them pillars of society Drive us like a tool To them that cool They drive Mercedes Benz and Porsches Live Rolls Royce gilt-edged lives You can tell the affluent effluent By the status symbols that they drive When you on the dole queue They tell you to your face You a bludger on their system And a blight on the human race They grace the social pages Always make the news At the church on Sunday They crowd in the front pews There's a hierachy of dominace With the power at the top If you think you've found the magic key You'll find they've changed the locks Walkin' down the freeway On their dotted line We'd like to make decisions But they won't allow the time It's said religion is the opium I say the media's the c**aine 24 hours of propanganda Druggin' my poor brain They confer titles of status and dominance On their progeny and their cla** "sir" – "Your honour" – "Your Grace" – "Your Highness" – We're made to polish And lick their f**ing bra** But you my friend can be like them If you have their million dollar fee But you'll find their system's designed To keep us in line And walkin' on our knees
