The Magnificent Seven Lyrics

    Ring! ring! it's 7:00 a.m.!
    Move y'self to go again
    Cold water in the face
    Brings you back to this awful place
    Knuckle merchants and you bankers, too
    Must get up an' learn those rules
    Weather man and the crazy chief
    One says sun and one says sleet
    A.m., the f.m. the p.m. too
    Churning out that boogaloo
    Gets you up and gets you out
    But how long can you keep it up?
    Gimme honda, gimme sony
    So cheap and real phony
    Hong kong dollars and indian cents
    English pounds and eskimo pence

    You lot! what?
    Don't stop! give it all you got!
    You lot! what?
    Don't stop! yeah!

    Working for a rise, better my station
    Take my baby to sophistication
    She's seen the ads, she thinks it's nice
    Better work hard - i seen the price
    Never mind that it's time for the bus
    We got to work - an' you're one of us
    Clocks go slow in a place of work
    Minutes drag and the hours jerk

    "when can i tell 'em wot i do?
    In a second, maaan...oright chuck!"

    Wave bub-bub-bub-bye to the boss
    It's our profit, it's his loss
    But anyway lunch bells ring
    Take one hour and do your thanng!
    Cheeesboiger!

    What do we have for entertainment?
    Cops kickin' gypsies on the pavement
    Now the news - snap to attention!
    The lunar landing of the dentist convention
    Italian mobster shoots a lobster
    Seafood restaurant gets out of hand
    A car in the fridge
    Or a fridge in the car?
    Like cowboys do - in t.v. land

    You lot! what? don't stop. huh?

    So get back to work an' sweat some more
    The sun will sink an' we'll get out the door
    It's no good for man to work in cages
    Hits the town, he drinks his wages
    You're frettin', you're sweatin'
    But did you notice you ain't gettin'?
    Don't you ever stop long enough to start?
    To take your car outta that gear
    Don't you ever stop long enough to start?
    To get your car outta that gear
    Karlo marx and fredrich engels
    Came to the checkout at the 7-11
    Marx was skint - but he had sense
    Engels lent him the necessary pence

    What have we got? yeh-o, magnificence!!

    Luther king and mahatma gandhi
    Went to the park to check on the game
    But they was murdered by the other team
    Who went on to win 50-nil
    You can be true, you can be false
    You be given the same reward
    Socrates and milhous nixon
    Both went the same way - through the kitchen
    Plato the greek or rin tin tin
    Who's more famous to the billion millions?
    News flash: vacuum cleaner sucks up budgie
    Oooohh...bub-bye

    Magnificence!!

    Fucking long, innit?
