The Procession Of Popular Capitalism - McCarthy[00:00:00]

Up and down the Strand[00:00:03]

I strolled around penniless[00:00:07]

But there were pockets to pick[00:00:10]

Beneath the hot august sun[00:00:14]

When suddenly the sound of singing[00:00:18]

And laughter arose in the distance[00:00:21]

And it drew me towards it[00:00:25]

And as I drew closer[00:00:28]

I could hear the song they sang [00:00:30]

"This is your country too [00:00:32]

Join our procession[00:00:38]

That's marching onwards to war"[00:00:42]

I could see them[00:00:46]

I saw how rich they all were[00:00:49]

At the the head of the gang[00:00:53]

Were top civil servants and captains of industry[00:00:56]

With well-manicured hands[00:01:00]

And greasy smiles enticing the populous[00:01:03]

"Come buy our shares [00:01:07]

Who will buy our shares [00:01:11]

For this is your country too "[00:01:14]

A great procession was marching onwards to war[00:01:21]

A man on the dole stood cursing them all[00:01:28]

He told everyone not to be taken in[00:01:32]

But at the orders of one of the marchers[00:01:35]

Policemen came and beat him to the floor[00:01:38]

Along Whitehall these dubious characters stared[00:01:53]

Picking up more and more people[00:02:00]

MP's careerists and god's oppressed senators[00:02:04]

With the sweetest of smiles[00:02:07]

They held out piggy banks to little children[00:02:10]

But as they took them the stomping stamping[00:02:14]

Feet trampled them underneath[00:02:19]

"This is your country too "[00:02:21]

A great procession was marching onwards to war[00:02:28]

"Come along buy your council home"[00:02:36]

They said to a half-dead mother of ten[00:02:39]

"With on our side we've reason to smile"[00:02:42]

They said to a tramp in a pool of alcohol[00:02:46]

On and on their maniac laughs[00:02:50]

And their marching beat scaring the night[00:02:56]
