Running The Country

Fiction Plane


If I don't do my homework you'll say it's not my fault 
I will tell a story and you will add the salt 
forget the institution that judges us by day 
we don't need to bother 
we're rich enough to pay 

and we'll be running the country 
into the ground 
into the ground 
we'll be running the country 
all is allowed 
all is allowed 
we'll be running the country 
mummy is proud 
daddy is proud 
we'll be leaving the country 
living in clouds 
living in clouds 

the soft electric blanket makes me feel so warm 
I won't swap it for money if we need that we'll print more 

if everything is easy and there's nothing much to do 
I'll bet that someone else has been fighting your wars for you 

and we'll be running the country 
into the ground 
into the ground 
we'll be running the country 
all is allowed 
all is allowed 
we'll be running the country 
mummy is proud 
daddy is proud 
we'll be leaving the country 
living in clouds 
living in clouds 

living in clouds
into the clouds
into the clouds
into the clouds

we'll live on the beach in Australia 
our parents won't let us be failures 
we'll take to the stars with these talents of ours and we'll feel so high
we'll feel so high
we'll feel so high

and we'll be running the country 
into the ground 
into the ground 
we'll be running the country 
all is allowed 
all is allowed 
we'll be running the country 
mummy is proud 
daddy is proud 
we'll be leaving the country 
living in clouds 
living in clouds
