If I don't do my homeworkyou'll say it's not my fault 

I will tell a story and you will add the salt 

forget the institution that judges us by day 

we don't need to bother 

we're rich enough to pay 



and we'll be running the country 

into the ground 

into the ground 

we'll be running the country 

all is allowed 

all is allowed 

we'll be running the country 

mummy is proud 

daddy is proud 

we'll be leaving the country 

living in clouds 

living in clouds 



the soft electric blanket makes me feel so warm 

I won't swap it for money if we need that we'll print more 



if everything is easy and there's nothing much to do 

I'll bet that someone else has been fighting your wars for you 



and we'll be running the country 

into the ground 

into the ground 

we'll be running the country 

all is allowed 

all is allowed 

we'll be running the country 

mummy is proud 

daddy is proud 

we'll be leaving the country 

living in clouds 

living in clouds 



living in clouds

into the clouds

into the clouds

into the clouds



we'll live on the beach in Australia 

our parents won't let us be failures 

we'll take to the stars with these talents of ours and we'll feel so high

we'll feel so high

we'll feel so high



and we'll be running the country 

into the ground 

into the ground 

we'll be running the country 

all is allowed 

all is allowed 

we'll be running the country 

mummy is proud 

daddy is proud 

we'll be leaving the country 

living in clouds 

living in clouds
