He's back
Jarvis Cocker, lead singer of Pulp, just released a solo track called "Running the World," or "Cunts Are Still Running the World" if yer not a pussy. Easily one of the finest lyricists of our time, he knocks this one out of the park. I highly recommend it. Listen here.
And since Myspace sound quality is awful, and half of you will complain you can't understand a British accent, the lyrics:
Well did you hear, theres a natural order.
Those most deserving will end up with the most.
That the cream cannot help but always rise up to the top,
Well I say: Shit floats.
If you thought things had changed,
Friend youd better think again,
Bluntly put in the fewest of words,
Cunts are still running the world.
Now the working classes are obsolete,
They are surplus to societies needs,
So let em all kill each other,
And get a maid overseas.
Thats the word dont you know,
From the guys thats running the show,
Lets be perfectly clear boys and girls,
Cunts are still running the world.
Oh feed your children on Cray fish and Lobster tails,
Find a school near the top of the league,
In theory I respect your right to exist,
I will kill ya if you move in next to me,
Ah it stinks, it sucks, its anthropologically unjust,
But the takings are up by a third, Oh So
Cunts are still running the world.
The free market is perfectly natural,
Do you think that I'm some kind of dummy?
Its the ideal way to order the world,
Fuck the morals, does it make any money?
And if you dont like it? Then leave.
Or use your right to protest on the street,
Yeah, use your rights but dont imagine that its heard, Oh no no,
Cunts are still running the world...
