lyrics

Oh what's that sound that is spinning around
oh no, it's the waltz of your fears and your faults
a falseness is untrue, and Falstaff he does rue
the rise of the king, so of cowardice sing
I only know I know nothing, you could call me Socrates
and watch me stuff a sock in your hightoned philosophies
cause your cities are burning, your slaves are revolting,
you've been tarred and feathered and appear to be molting
so come down from your palace and take up the broom
we've custodians a plenty but they can make room
practice pinching a penny till it can fit through
the eye of the needle, then your love will be true...
