Once again, I'm in trouble with my own friend

She is papering the window panes

She is putting on a smile

Once again, packed like frozen food and battery hens

Think of all the starving millions

Don't talk politics and don't throw stones

Your royal highnesses

But someone's listening in

Once again, we are hungry for a lynching

That's a strange mistake to make

You should turn the other cheek

There's someone listening in
