Napalm Death
 The Great and the Good
 Take 23
 Maximum distortion
 ♪
 Go
 ♪
 Stinking to the bowels of high heaven
 Creeping to the giants of status
 Guarding protection of interests - not you
 Not you or anything that might be misconstrued as help
 ♪
 Marching through the ashes of conquests
 Slapping the backs of the empire men
 Selling our consent in the process - that's you
 That is you and everything you'd be reduced to do, do
 A pledge is a pledge
 But only 'til it doesn't suit your friends
 The art of double-talk
 Adamant on what you really meant
 A pledge is a pledge is a pledge is a pledge
 ♪
 For lesser, the poorer
 Pluck out their eyes - they offend
 "Dumb" animals can't precede the lucre in barbaric tests
 Big noise says jump now
 The chasm is never too high or wide
 The corporate slow-killer
 Punished with a lenient smile
 A pledge is a pledge is a pledge is a pledge
 ♪
 The arrogance, the hand in hands of despotic freaks that defend
 An oversight where human rights fall at the fence of "good trade"
 Yes man? Always
 ♪
 Drop the high and mighty facade
 Do the decent thing
 Consider mouthing one word of truth
 Blow open the grand scheme
 Yes man? Always. Yes man? Always. Yes man? Always
 Drop the high and mighty facade
 Do the decent thing
 Consider mouthing one word of truth
 Blow open the grand scheme
 A pledge is a pledge is a pledge is a pledge
 The man in the bubble smiles - berates the condemned
 Back to his crusade, fights off more cries of dissent
 Yes man? Always
