Governing Takes Brains Lyrics

[Oh my god!]

You know to be able to run a government you need a b***** good brain
To be an MP you must be someone well above the common
Learn to do the job as you'll properly you need many many qualities
Ordinary mortals can't command I will tell you later what they all are
Stupid fools say it's not hard to do what I do
But let me tell you it's hard you couldn't do what I do
Don't even dream of it you would never succeed
People as clever as me are very few and far between...

You know to be in business to run a company you really need to use your head
Show me a man of money and I will show you a genius
To get to grips with the ins and outs you all think that it's a piece of cake
But you know it's taken me many years and I am very remarkable

Stupid fools say it's not hard to do what I do
I'm here to tell you it's hard you couldn't do what I do
Don't even dream of it you would never succeed
People as clever as me are very few and far between
So let me a**ure you it's no picnic to be in charge of this land
You scruffy people the lower orders just know your place
Don't ever you try at governing you might find out how difficult it is

Stupid fools say it's not hard to do what I do
But let me tell you it's hard you couldn't do what I do
Don't even dream of it you would never succeed
People as clever as me are very few and far between
We are not equal but we are different
It's a dangerous view to say we are born equal
It don't appeal to any one of the deputies
You know that equality is an impossible dream

Notes:

Malcolm:

Live we played this faster and I think it was better. Writing these notes, I can speak about most of our songs from memory, but I've noticed that for the songs of this period I can't remember them too well, and have to play the records to refresh my
memory.

"MP" is Member of Parliament.
