PUBLIC IMAGE LIMITED lyrics - Good Things

Little white lies - they hold little surprise



CHORUS



Good things come in threes

The places I haunt - the powers I taunt

And the little I need - I need!

Where the arrogance of presidents - drive with the top down

And pop singers bite bullets - and pops kiss the ground

The most favoured nations - should be atheists

Not the penny pinch manipulators - of the fundamentalists



CHORUS



For everyone spotted - ten get missed

The deeper you look - the longer the list

And the CNN calling card - red herring day, "No news today"

Somebody somewhere indirectly directs them on their way

Stand up a token figure - and twist whatever they say



CHORUS



Pin it on no one - it doesn't matter anyway

How many political despots worked for the USA

And who controls down South America way

and who controls the modern Russian way

Death in the streets, death is a project

All in the weak, the poor, the rich, the racist

and free thought should be looked upon

As an enemy

Because free thought went to jail, long ago

What a pity

The spider's kiss, the White House astrologists

How many political despots worked for the CIA

The spider's kiss, the White House astrologists

Fuck, it's the CIA



CHORUS
