Put On A Proper Suit

Don't weep for the seeds you were hoping to sow,
dead before you plant them:
just put on a proper suit, do up your tie
and sing the national anthem.

Don't ask why you're slapped with the bedroom tax
while robbers live in mansions:
just put on a proper suit, do up your tie
and sing the national anthem.

Don't express that you're vexed with security checks,
be assured: you are chosen at random,
so just put on a proper suit, do up your tie
and sing the national anthem.

And when we bring the charges we'll bring against you,
don't say you don't understand them:
put on a proper suit. Do up your tie.
Sing the national anthem.
