Lyrics

[Verse 1] Oh, the pillars of society Cruise down the road each day; They got the economic wherewithal We can't afford to pay They got them numbered bank accounts Their system assures they win They exploit the population we on the outside lookin' in [Chorus] Them pillars of society Drive us like a tool To them, that's cool [Verse 2] They drive Mercedes Benz and Porsches Live Rolls Royce gilt-edged lives You can tell the affluent effluent By the status symbols that they drive When you're on the dole queue They'll tell you to your face You a bludger on their system And a blight on the human race [Chorus] Them pillars of society Drive us like a tool To them, that's cool [Verse 3] Well, they grace the social pages They always make the news At the church on Sunday They crowd in the front pews There's a hierachy of dominace With the power at the top If you think you've found the magic key You'll find they've changed the locks [Chorus] Them pillars of society Drive us like a tool To them, that's cool [Verse 4] Well I'm walkin' down the freeway On their dotted line I'd like to make decisions But they won't allow the time It's said religion is the opium I say the media's the cocaine Twenty four hours of propaganda Druggin' my poor brain [Chorus] Them pillars of society Drive us like a tool To them, that's cool [Verse 5] They confer titles of status and dominance On their progeny and their class "Sir", "Your Honour", "Your Grace", "Your Highness" We're made to polish and lick their brass But you my friend can be like them If you have their million dollar fee But you'll find their system's designed To keep us in line And walkin' on our knees [Chorus] Them pillars of society Drive us like a tool To them, that's cool
