"Hegemony" lyrics

"Hegemony"

Hegemony, hegemony
You are the fairest creature
You are the fairest creature that ever I have seen
And it's all for monopoly
On all those pretty sensibles
That rot and raise a nation, the capacity for change

Honest day's pay for an honest day's work
You can't change human nature
Don't bite the hand that feeds you

Hegemony, hegemony
You are the foulest cr-
You are the foulest creature that set upon a race
You can generate and dissipate
But only very stupidly
Such it is, the splendor of popular control

Some are born to lead, and others born to follow
A place for everything, everything in it's place

How do you do this?
How can you do it to me?
When all you are is ordinary, it's pretty common sense
You are natural, immutable, and everyone exquisites you
As common sense, and common sense is things just as they are

Rock 'n' roll, is there a solo, can you dance to it?
Walk it like you talk it, be there or be square
