The single is a full band recording and precursor to a new album, England Expectorates, and the lyrics have been updated to reflect on the clowns currently living at 10 Downing Street.
Here comes a Greedhead battering with your gun
That cunt’s asleep, don’t know his time has come
Find a bridge and push him off
Raise your
Kalashnikov
He is insane, I’m so pissed off
Cunts can fuck off (x 4)
Here comes a priest in the pay of a Nazi pope
Do like Black Sabbath,
ring that fucker at the end of a rope
Before I leave this town, I will
burn your churches down
They are insane, I’m so pissed off
Cunts can fuck off (x 4)
An opportunity to get some more young men killed
Defending freedom,
overspending, are we all blue pilled?
In far Afghanistan, Joe Biden left
his planes
Tax the poor we’ll need some more for Ukraine
Cunts can fuck off (x 4)
We're stuck indoors but Boris won’t go without
He made the rules but
Boris won’t go without
History won’t forget him and Carrie Antoinette
He’s a conniving privileged get
Cunts can fuck off (x 4)
I’m sick and tired of the Woke celebrity
The metropolitan luvvies of the BBC
You must think this and this
Methinks you take the piss
We know her paycheck's smaller than his.
Cunts can fuck off (x 4)
OK, get ready for the festival ending, slow down!
I’m making lists of
all the people I love
And all the cunts who should fuck off
You’re
taking chances if you’re living near me
'cause I’m a cunt who’s so
pissed off
‘till then, I’m biding my time
Feeding
my rhyme
Healing my mind...
The CD single sold out within a couple of hours of being posted on the Head Heritage website (yep, I was nowhere near it at the weekend) but it's available as a WAV download for one English pound (or equivalent currency across the world)
Of course, the Arch Drude isn't the first JC to record a song with a similar sentiment and use of the C-word. This popped up as a hidden track at the end of Jarvis Cocker's debut solo album in 2006:
Well, did you hear? There's a natural order
Those most deserving will end up with the most
That the cream cannot help but always rise up to the top
Well I say, "Shit floats"
Those most deserving will end up with the most
That the cream cannot help but always rise up to the top

If you thought things had changed
Friend, you'd better think again
Bluntly put, in the fewest of words
Cunts are still running the world
Cunts are still running the world
Oh yeah
Friend, you'd better think again
Bluntly put, in the fewest of words
Cunts are still running the world
Cunts are still running the world
Oh yeah
Now the working classes are obsolete
They are surplus to society's needs
So let 'em all kill each other
And get it made overseas
That's the word, don't you know
From the guys that's running the show
Let's be perfectly clear, boys and girls
Oh cunts are still running the world

Oh yeah

Oh cunts are still running the world
Cunts are still running the world
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Feed your children on crayfish and lobster tails
Find a school near the top of the league
In theory I respect your right to exist
I will kill you if you move in next to me
And it stinks, yeah it sucks, it's anthropologically unjust
But the takings are up by a third, so
Cunts are still running the world, yeah
Cunts are still running the world
Oh yeah

Oh yeah
Cunts are still running the world
Cunts are still running the world
Cunts are still running the world
The free market is perfectly natural
Do you think that I'm some kind of dummy?
It's the ideal way to order the world
"Fuck the morals, does it make any money?"

If you don't like it, then leave
Or use your right to protest on the street
Yeah, use your right but don't imagine that it's heard
Not while cunts are still running the world
Cunts are still running the world, yeah

Cunts are still running the world, oh

Great to see a bloke who is 65 in October pushing the boundaries and getting the state of the world so spot on... next thing Julian H Cope - some tour dates please - once again 'paranormal in the west country!'
ReplyDeleteUnlikely these days, but it would be brilliant to see Julian Cope on stage with a full band again. I'll take a solo acoustic tour again though!
DeleteGreat stuff from the archdrude
ReplyDeleteThough the song's been around for years, it feels like it's just the right moment to release it into the world. Love this version.
