[Introduction] While some sore heads will rue last nights endeavors And make Sundays vow that they wont get so leathered Dads shout at lads so they foul number seven Theres no need for fighting theyre only eleven A little introduction to the state of things [Verse 1] What of the woman who stands by her fella Despite the bruises brought on by the Stella To cook and to clothe and to clean and to screw Is not the sum total of all she can do They claim that the threats high, oh do me a favor Control you by fear so you dont know your neighbour Tube station at midnight, shoot them on sight Hearts beating faster on jubilee line The football fans fight cause Uniteds at home Its futile as bald men fighting for a comb Adam gives Keeley what Donna gave him Keeley shags Richard then gives it to Jim [Chorus] Im making you aware of the state of things A little introduction to the state of things Im aching to sing about the state of things Bet they dont teach you at school about the state of things [Verse 2] And then theres the woman whos there in the station Whose White Lightning refuge is inebriation Some wench on park bench contrasts to your cash Shes not gonna kill ya or give ya a rash [Chorus] Im making you aware of the state of things A little introduction to the state of things Im aching to sing about the state of things Because were all run by fools thats the state of things Im telling you straight about the state of things 1984 the state of things It cuts me wide open the state of things I am The Reverend and Ill tell you about the state of things
