Good Things Lyrics - That What Is Not - Public Image Limited

Little white lies-they hold little surprise 

Good things come in threes 

CHORUS 

And the little I need-I need! 

The places I haunt-the powers I taunt 

Where the arrogance of presidents-drive with the top down 

The most favoured nations-should be atheists 

And pop singers bite bullets-and pops kiss the ground 

Not the penny pinch manipulators-of the fundamentalists 

CHORUS 

For everyone spotted-ten get missed 

And the CNN callning card-red herring day, "No news today" 

The deeper you look-the longer the list 

Somebody somewhere indirectly directs them on their way 

CHORUS 

Stand up a token figure-and twist whatever they say 

Pin it on no one-it doesn't matter anyway 

How many political despots worked for the USA 

and who controls the modern Russian way 

And who controls down South America way 

Death in the streets, death is a project 

All in the weak, the poor, the rich, the racist 

and free thought should be looked upon 

Because free thought went to jail, long ago 

As an enemy 

What a pity 

How many political despots worked for the CIA 

The spider's kiss, the White House astrologists 

The spider's kiss, the White House astrologists 

Fuck, it's the CIA 

CHORUS
