Lyrics
Mob Rule
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Plans were unveiled, the press informed
Residents muttered their doubts and fears at meeting
A brace of councilors voiced concern
Some assent was murmured
There were advisers
And expert guidance had been sought
Whom to trust? Who could know?
Just what that meant, expert
People are so ungrateful, it's quite hard on chairmen
Directors of planning must be given
The right to make plans
Just as say, the woodworm must bore
So, two advisers must advice
