See us, believe us, save us
Hear us, receive us, trade us
Lead us, cheat us, feed our fear
Deceive us & unmake us

The airport has been blocked off for safe passage
Through the drizzle, hear the sound of the army band
Red carpet getting soaked, tubas gasp and croak
the way they do when dignitaries are supposed to land

I can't come off the plane
I can't come off the plane
Would you ever come aboard?
& I will soon explain

See us, believe us, save us
Hear us, receive us, trade us
Lead us, cheat us, feed our fear
Deceive us & unmake us

Please excuse those ghouls up front - your fame precedes you:
as a statesman, and a caterer for dogs
Now - a proposition ripe with easy gains:
A hundred million Russians may be starving
Pet food meat will do them!
Pet food meat will do them!
You'd never feed a showband that,
but the menu maketh the autocrat

See us, believe us, save us
Hear us, receive us, trade us
Lead us, cheat us, feed our fear
Deceive us & unmake us

But there's a further matter...
I mean: anointing your successor
for which I recommend
my friend
Big Tom McBride

See us, believe us, save us
Hear us, receive us, trade us
Lead us, cheat us, feed our fear
Deceive us & unmake us
