Public Image Ltd. - Good Things lyrics

Little white lies-they hold little surprise Good things come in threes CHORUS And the little I need-I need! The places I haunt-the powers I taunt Where the arrogance of presidents-drive with the top down The most favoured nations-should be atheists And pop singers bite bullets-and pops kiss the ground Not the penny pinch manipulators-of the fundamentalists CHORUS For everyone spotted-ten get missed And the CNN callning card-red herring day, "No news today" The deeper you look-the longer the list Somebody somewhere indirectly directs them on their way CHORUS Stand up a token figure-and twist whatever they say Pin it on no one-it doesn't matter anyway How many political despots worked for the USA And who controls the modern Russian way And who controls down South America way d**h in the streets, d**h is a project All in the weak, the poor, the rich, the racist And free thought should be looked upon Because free thought went to jail, long ago As an enemy What a pity How many political despots worked for the CIA The spider's kiss, the White House astrologists The spider's kiss, the White House astrologists F**k, it's the CIA CHORUS -------------------------------------------------
