Downbeat Clique

For independence we alone define

Open-ended, not monopolised, it's just as it is.

Does not need overstatement

Don't broadcast it from the rooftops

It's we alone that convene

But radical actor there you are

The radical statesman picking holes

But radical actor there you are

The radical stateman's checklist of faults

But radical actor there you are

In radical terms this target's soft

But radical actor there you are

In radical terms it's power to your lost soul

But radical actor there you are

The radical heights of alienating

To be a cut above - or below.

Infighting starts to establish

A clearly marked distance because image is at stake

Mindlessly stifling, downbeat clique

Down-at-heel, downbeat clique

Infighting starts to establish

A clearly marked distance because image is at stake

Pitifully sniping, downbeat clique

Re-branded morality, downbeat clique.

Exactly what are YOU achieving?

The faithful patron of one conclusion

With reflection, effects are null and void,

It's just as it is

But radical actor there you are

The radical statesman picking holes

But radical actor there you are

In radical terms it's power to your lost soul.

But radical actor there you are,

The radical slip into social structure,

And your threatening alliance with the norm.
