Bullshit - Momus

If you want to be hot, shake what you’ve got

If you want to make art, just start

If you want to make pop, say what you mean

Stick it to a backbeat

Bullshit

To get to the top you’ve got to stab a few backs

But that never stopped the ambitious

What use are backs to the gormless, the spineless?

Fuck em all, get vicious

Bullshit

The shape of the halogen headlamps on cars

Says all you need to know about progress

They used to be friendly and civic and round

But now they are scowling and furious

Bullshit

I once met a girl who was lovely and wise

And built my own Taj Mahal to her

But Standard & Poor’s downgraded her credit

Now she lives in a sewer

Bullshit

These are the days of the decline of the West

Their semi-fascism's gone

They had their day, now it’s time for the rest

To be semi-fascist in turn
