Low Society

A judge a dentist or physician In this low society Trade ambition for position In this low society Have you heard it's in the stars Next July we collide with Mars Have you heard it in the bars They're all laughing No more pay and lots of leisure In this low society Low society I'm just doing what I can In this low society But I'm an incidental man In this low society I give away what others sell The secret's yours so never tell 'Cos if you do you'll go to hell Low society Side by side and always tired All for one and no-one hired All that's left is love inspired Low society And when the party is complete And you're still standing on your feet The taste of victory is sweet Low society And darling don't forget In this low society To turn off your T.V. set In this low society The most important thing at all In this low society Is not to stand too tall In this low society In this world that never learns I can see Rome as it burns All the passion and the power Turns to ash within an hour No more play and no more pleasure In this low society
