Today In Parliament Lyrics - Clifford T Ward

Today in parliament 

You' got the honourable this 

And the honourable that 

Nothin' so eloquent 

As a little bit of mis- 

Understanding and a lot of chat 

Something you wanna say? 

Don't address it to me 

You gotta see your MP 

He's gonna take up your case today 

Do civilised people always act this way? 

Today in parliament 

You' got shoutin' down the front 

And shoutin' at the back 

Come on gentlemen, settle down at the front 

Sit down at the back 

Something you wanna say? 

Address it to the House in the usual way 

I know you want to have some fun 

But civilised people ought to get things done. 

Blame Jesus for all the trouble in the world today 

Blame anybody you like 

But don't blame the government of the day. 

Today in parliament 

You get rhetoric elective, a little bit of cynicism 

Nothing heaven sent 

Just a mere hint of socialism, lotta conservatism 

' Nothing I wanna say 

Let's make a lot of changes and keep it this way 

' No where else I wanna go 

I'm enjoying myself, I run this radio show.
