Everything fits nicely into place
Higher powers take the lead
Middleman sit, pondering his worth
One great scheme to stem (the) objective urge
Decision-making
And power playing
One up-manship
Show of hands
To clasp the myth
Vote in a new scourge
Everything fits nicely into place
Higher powers take the lead
Issues are decided before we've a chance to think
And moral high ground wins the day again
Decision-making
And power playing
Principles spurned
Show of hands
To clasp the myth
Favors for my friends
It's a constitutional hell
Where they pontificate and yell
Where etiquette outplays integrity
It's a constitutional hell
Everything fits nicely into place
Higher powers take the lead
Sleeping giants show their real worth
I'll sum up on all the good you've done this earth...
...Nothing
