Lyrics

[Verse 1] Today I got up in the morning But the sun was in the west My woman made my supper Clad in her Wednesday best And the landlord, he gave me some money And the cat barked in reply And I was raped by this lady Who later assured me she was very shy But I didn't really believe it But then I don't believe much anymore [Verse 2] Then I walked out of the window And had a chat with good Queen Bess I saw Vanessa Redgrave And she was rеading The Daily Express She told mе that president Nixon He was gonna be the very next pope But I said, "He can't read Latin" But she assured me that he could But I didn't really believe her But then I don't believe much anymore Yeah [Verse 3] Then this CIA man passed me Reading the thoughts of chairman Mao He asked if I'd seen Hitler So I said, "I'm sorry, no" Then I asked about all them Kennedys And mister Martin Luther King But he looked at me all blankly and said "I didn't see a thing" I didn't like that man He smelled [Verse 4] Yeah, then I saw mister Ian Smith Refused entry to a club So he went with Enoch Powell To this handy nearby pub And they're both two black and tans And I really had to stare 'Cause the barman, he was Irish But it didn't turn a hair But then I didn't really believe it 'Cause I don't believe much anymore Ooh [Verse 5] Then up rode vice president Key With a marshal's badge on his chest He said, "Man, I wanna hypnotize ya To help fight the NLF" So I said, "Man, you think I'm as daft As that fellow Uncle Sam?" So he said, "It's for democracy, that's what made me what I am" Didn't like him either Nasty [Verse 6] Yeah, then the final straw came later I saw JC in the street With Che and Marx and Buddha All getting on a treat They said, "Man, we're all combining To make this world a better place It's a really marvelous thing This good old human race" I didn't even think about that one But then I gave up on thinking a long time ago [Outro] Don't think about anything Just goin' my own way Wander 'round the town Nothing It's all gone
