HEADS OF STATE Down in the basement in the house With the police outside There's something secret hidden away In various crates In a paralyzed state Are the heads for the mood of the day There's one full of piety And one for anxiety And one for when we're heading for war And one for the masses And the civilized classes And one that does nothing at all The replaceable heads Are for the government leaders Who always seem to change their politics Like the head for the nation Doesn't deal with immigration 'cos patriots and riots don't mix And when the head for the day says 'I'll do it this way' Remember the replaceable head 'cos when they get elected Their decisions get rejected Completely contradicting what they said So don't trust the politicians They don't make their own decisions 'cos they haven't even got their heads screwed on For everything that's said There's just another head And a politicians words can be replaced But then maybe i am wrong I mean this is just a song Is it just that politicians are two-faced?
