Here's to the gods and their seats on high

Nobody knows anything

Here's to the flags in their guilty sky

Nobody says anything


This aside, this coast is clear

It doesn't help, it doesn't help me


Who am I? Only

One more life that you can owe me

It's civilised, it's civilised, it's civil sin

Who am I? Only

One more lie so you can own me

It's civilised, it's civilised, it's civil sin


Here's to the crown in their Sunday best

Nobody knows anything

Here's to the crowd, slaves who never rest

Nobody says anything


And this aside, this coast is clear

Until one man buys the whole show

And this aside, my mind is clear

It doesn't help, it doesn't help me


Who am I? Only

One more life that you can owe me

It's civilised, it's civilised, it's civil sin

Who am I? Only

One more lie so you can own me

It's civilised, it's civilised, it's civil sin

(repeat)
