[00:00:00] The Procession Of Popular Capitalism - McCarthy

[00:00:03] Up and down the Strand

[00:00:07] I strolled around penniless

[00:00:10] But there were pockets to pick

[00:00:14] Beneath the hot august sun

[00:00:18] When suddenly the sound of singing

[00:00:21] And laughter arose in the distance

[00:00:25] And it drew me towards it

[00:00:28] And as I drew closer

[00:00:30] I could hear the song they sang

[00:00:32] "This is your country too

[00:00:38] Join our procession

[00:00:42] That's marching onwards to war"

[00:00:46] I could see them

[00:00:49] I saw how rich they all were

[00:00:53] At the the head of the gang

[00:00:56] Were top civil servants and captains of industry

[00:01:00] With well-manicured hands

[00:01:03] And greasy smiles enticing the populous

[00:01:07] "Come buy our shares

[00:01:11] Who will buy our shares

[00:01:14] For this is your country too "

[00:01:21] A great procession was marching onwards to war

[00:01:28] A man on the dole stood cursing them all

[00:01:32] He told everyone not to be taken in

[00:01:35] But at the orders of one of the marchers

[00:01:38] Policemen came and beat him to the floor

[00:01:53] Along Whitehall these dubious characters stared

[00:02:00] Picking up more and more people

[00:02:04] MP's careerists and god's oppressed senators

[00:02:07] With the sweetest of smiles

[00:02:10] They held out piggy banks to little children

[00:02:14] But as they took them the stomping stamping

[00:02:19] Feet trampled them underneath

[00:02:21] "This is your country too "

[00:02:28] A great procession was marching onwards to war

[00:02:36] "Come along buy your council home"

[00:02:39] They said to a half-dead mother of ten

[00:02:42] "With on our side we've reason to smile"

[00:02:46] They said to a tramp in a pool of alcohol

[00:02:50] On and on their maniac laughs

[00:02:56] And their marching beat scaring the night
