In Recognition

In recognition of a hundred million album sales

In recognition of your popularity

You take your gaudy prize

From people you said you despise

You wear your self-respect upon your bended kneeIn spite of all your claims

It looks like youre just the same

As every other clown who likes to put the crown

Before or after their nameIn recognition of your service to the working class

In recognition of your party loyalty

You get an ermine robe

And you declare when you are probed

You only took it so the missus would be pleasedIn spite of all your claims

It looks like youre just the same

As every other clown who likes to put the crown

Before or after their namesOh vanity

It gets them one by one

Cat, religion, monarchy

But only in tale, fairly frailIn recognition of your bravery up on the stage

In recognition of your bankability

You get to wait in lines

With soldiers crippled by land mines

And you think its the Yanks that dont get ironyIn spite of all your claims

It looks like youre just the same

As every other clown who likes to put the crown

Before or after their nameIn spite of all your claims

It looks like youre just the same

As every other clown who likes to put the crown

Before or after their nameTheir name

Their name

Their name
