Cunts are still ruling the world

A friend sent me those lyrics the other day. It's an angry, blunt and timely song. I worked out it is on the last Jarvis Cocker album, Jarvis. Good old Jarvis.

Well did you hear, there’s 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 you’d better think again,
Bluntly put in the fewest of words:
Cunts are still running the world,
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 it made overseas.
That’s the word don’t you know,
From the guys thats running the show,
Let's be perfectly clear boys and girls:
Cunts are still running the world,
Cunts are still running the world.

Oh, feed your children on crayfish 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, yeah it sucks, it’s anthropologically unjust,
But the takings are up by a third, Oh So...
Cunts are still running the world,
Cunts are still running the world.

Our free market is perfectly natural,
Do you think that I’m some kind of dummy?
It’s the ideal way to order the world,
Fuck the morals, does it make any money?
And if you don’t like it? Then leave...
Or use your right to protest on the street,
Yeah, use your rights but don’t imagine that it’s heard, Oh no, no...
Not whilst cunts are still running the world
Cunts are still running the world,
Cunts are still running the world.
