Dead As A Go-Go

[Chorus]
Dead as a go-go bird
That lived many years ago

[Verse 1]
Wherever I go
Go and follows
Whatever I do
It's still the same, go ends to blame

I'm trimming my mind
Of excesses
Trying to leave
A bearable life, and my life

Is a tribute to those
Public speakers
Telling me straight
What I should do, as if they knew

[Chorus]
Dead as a go-go bird
That lived many years ago
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

[Verse 2]
Burning me up
Beating me down
Looking sincere
On the TV, for a fee

But tellers don't tell
Any secrets
Only the chimps
Pouring the tea, get through to me

And uncle Go-ann
Smiling and cheering
Paying his pad
To pipe to the sheep, as they leap

[Chorus]
Dead as a go-go bird
That lived many years ago

[Spoken]
It's wonderful to have, such an opportunity to talk to you
About the vital, pressing questions
That have such a profound effect on all of our lives
And it cannot be stressed too strongly (Rot! Rubbish!)
As until these matters are considered serious, by the ordinary man in the street, and indeed take it to heart (Rot! Rubbish!)
Then, and only then, can the rising cost of living (Rot! Rubbish!)
Be [?] increase stand able (Rot! Rubbish!)
All of us, present, [?] many years to come (Rot! Rubbish!)
While yesterday, one of our most distinguished colleagues stated categorically (Rot! Rubbish!)
The eleven-and-a-half percent know, which everyone agrees
The big boom in this world, has been surpassed, time and time again

[Verse 3]
Wherever I go
Go and follows
Whatever I do
It's still the same, go ends to blame

[Chorus]
Dead as a go-go bird
That lived many years ago
