The Lyrics
(History forgotten is history repeated)
You must remember this
A mess is still a mess
A lie is still a lie
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by
And before the poor are fed
He’ll squeeze them more instead
On that we can rely
No matter what the Rodent sings
As time goes by
Moonlighting with Dubya – always out of date
Hearts full of cunning – jealousy and hate
Howard follows George – and George must have his mate
That, no one can deny.
It’s still the same old story
A fight for wealth and glory
A case of greed and lies
The world will soon reveal the sickness
As time goes by.
A mess is still a mess
A lie is still a lie
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by
And before the poor are fed
He’ll squeeze them more instead
On that we can rely
No matter what the Rodent sings
As time goes by
Moonlighting with Dubya – always out of date
Hearts full of cunning – jealousy and hate
Howard follows George – and George must have his mate
That, no one can deny.
It’s still the same old story
A fight for wealth and glory
A case of greed and lies
The world will soon reveal the sickness
As time goes by.
