We live in interesting times
Horribly interesting times
Only to be saved by a gentleman who rhymes
It's one's civic duty
To live it fruity
To fight the power and evoke the beauty
Of humanity
But the profanity on that placard you're holding
Speaks of sanity
Makes me think, "That told him!"
As our eyes meet
Over a very, very crowded street
The mad world falls away
How sweet
We both know what we think is true
(And we shall stand by it)
I want to get kettled with you
(Let's start a lovely riot)
Action is what we've taken to
(Direct action)
And I want to get kettled with you
(Join my little love faction)
Oh dear
I don't know if it's the fuzz, or you
But I do feel dizzy
And I need to use the facilities
As the bobbies get furious
It's so luxurious
When they squeeze us together
For reasons spurious
Won't you please date me
In this police state, G?
It would be like '68 in Paris
We've got to try and play our part
Because you've occupied my aching heart
Let's break apart this corporate mart
And start a revolution that's a la carte
We both know what we think is true
(Yes we know it's true)
I want to get kettled with you
(Let's get proper close now)
Action is what we've taken to
(You know what sort of action I'm after)
And I want to get kettled with you
(I apologize for this hyperbolic singing)
We both know what we think is true
(Yes we both know)
I want to get kettled with you
(Don't you think that would be rather splendid)
Action is what we've taken to
(Let's take action if you know what I mean)
And I want to get kettled with you
(I want to get kettled with you)
