When pleading your case
Try not to smear shit on your face
Don't blame a bad call
On your own clumsy shortfall
Cheer on the helping hand
Strike up that marching band
Deny them a decent medical plan
[chorus]
Spotlight on the capital, capital champions
Here to ease your pain
Sad to say they spent it all, spent it all on podiums
And can't spare the change
When praising heroes
Make sure the camera knows where to go
Cheer on the helping hand
Strike up that marching band
Deny them a decent medical plan
Adjust old policies
Donate to charities
Repossess their cars and properties
[chorus]
Warm are the words when faced with the empty handed
Cold is the shoulder when action is demanded
Going in circles, going in circles
Pass the work off to the next runner
Going in circles, going in circles
Why the fuck did it take so long?
