Cherry Bomb

Cherry Bomb (10th June 2008, 8.25am)

There are too many people
Standing on my toes;
I can’t see the President
To tell him what I know;

Here we are in thousands,
Hanging on his words;
He fends off all the questions
That he hasn’t really heard;

One man to lead the people;
The people put him there
From the limited selection
At the national freak fayre;

I turn to look at Michael
Gazing through the heads;
We could reach the President
If the crowd all fell down dead,

So let’s build a cherry bomb,
Call out ‘there she blows’
As we scatter the innocents
Like a circus acrobatic show;

We could walk across the bodies;
We could take him by both hands;
We could ask him all those questions;
We could make him understand;

Let’s build another cherry bomb;
Always best to have a spare
Just in case the Man won’t listen,
Then at least we’ll be prepared;

There are too many people
Standing on my prayers;
I’ve got a loaded secret
And only you know where.
