The Ten Commandments |
| There’s a new religion |
| And it’s hot off the shelf |
| Where the congregation |
| Have to worship themselves |
| There’s no fire and brimstone |
| But there’s an inglenook |
| Where you can take communion |
| From a TV cook |
| There are Ten Commandments |
| And you can please yourself |
| If you keep or break them |
| You’re still condemned to Hell |
| If you’ve a dollar in the bank |
| And that will see you through |
| But if your neighbour has a dollar |
| Well then you’d better get two |
| We can’t negotiate a contract |
| A package to suit your claim |
| You’ll get no justice in that sense |
| 'Cos nobody’s ever to blame |
| There’s a high priestess |
| She knows the spice of life |
| She’s only skin and bone |
| But she’s a football wife |
| They take an altar to the terrace |
| So we can name our saints |
| You’re given fifteen minutes |
| With karaoke brains |
| You’d better choose your friends |
| Very carefully |
| If they can help you network |
| Well they’re no use to me |
| Take what you want |
| Not what you need |
| We used to have that problem |
| Now they’re a dying breed |
