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?
