Safe And Sound
A cynical look at the members of Western Society who purport to have our interests at heart, but who have their own agendas. There is a sneer in the delivery at politicians, lawyers, bankers et al who deceive us with fears of instability and play on our insecurities.

The politician's on the 'phone
Said she'd bring the hostage home
Said her hands were tied, but she'd do what she could
The hostage elected to stay 'cos he knew where he stood
The lawyer's standing in his briefs
He's got the bit between his teeth
Said he wouldn't bite the hand, but he ripped it right off
His wife said that she won his love, but had to pay costs
Safe and sound
Safe and sound
Safe and sound, we are
Safe and sound
Like a glutton with a bone
The MP wants another home
The brief might bend the rules to win a trick
They struck a deal to feed the rich and fleece the sick
The bankers really couldn't care
We're less important than their share
The customer's only right when they want us to be
We get an overdraft, they get a bonus and their fee
Safe and sound
Safe and sound
Safe and sound, we are
Safe and sound
Safe and sound
Safe and sound
Safe and sound, we are
Safe and sound
