[Verse 1]
Oh, the bright young men in their tight-buttoned suits:
Yeah, the light beams out from capped smiles
To the shines on their lick-spittle boots
On their lick-spittle boots
Oh, these sharp young sparks with their fresh rosettes –
Yeah, the artful way that they promise the earth to all suffragettes
What they won't promise we don't know yet

[Chorus]
They say they're build- and shaping society
But we know they're just saving for their own
(Safe home) in politics
(A safe home) in politics
Anything goes: look at them run

[Verse 2]
Come from every side, noses Pinocchio clean;
Lock in synchromesh
Oil the wheels and the gears of the party machine
Of the party machine
And the final goal (The final goal) is a cabinet seat... (Is a cabinet seat) In the trappings of power
The presumption to speak for the man in the street
For the man in the street

[Chorus]
Once they move in, they're in for good;
Yeah, once they get that bed made
It's a (Safe home) in politics
(A safe home) in politics
(A safe home) in politics
(A safe home) in politics
Jobs for the boys: look at them run
