When the underdogs went under
While the overlords rule over
Overruling plaintive pleas
Objection? plaintiff, please
When the twist is that there’s no twist
What kind of story is this?
Now we notice, now we know this
What kind of story this is
Oh the sorrow, oh the pity
Oh the death by subcommittee
Oh the old long deep deception
Oh irreversible direction
Oh to flounder loudly or softly
Oh the power proudly scoffing
Not a tuppence of comeuppance
As we countenance comedownance
Oh the righteous and the righteousness
Oh the wrongeous and unholy mess
Far below low expectation
Oh the unseen conflagration
