In this low society
Trade ambition for position
In this low society

Have you heard it's in the stars
Next July we collide with Mars
Have you heard it in the bars
In this low society

No more pay and lots of leisure
In this low society

Low society

I'm just doing what I can
In this low society
But I'm an incidental man
In this low society

I give away what others sell
The secret's yours so never tell
'Cos if you do you'll go to hell
Low society

Side by side and always tired
All for one and no-one hired
All that's left is love inspired
Low society

And when the party is complete
And you're still standing on your feet
The taste of victory is sweet
Low society

And darling don't forget
In this low society
To turn off your T.V. set
In this low society

The most important thing at all
In this low society
Is not to stand too tall
In this low society

In this world that never learns
I can see Rome as it burns
All the passion and the power
Turns to ash within an hour

No more play and no more pleasure
In this low society
