Jargon King |
He prescribes the subject |
He proscribes outsiders |
His terms have a golden ring |
He wants to find some order |
Quantifying chaos |
In words that all the children sing |
He tabulates the lexicon |
Vocabulary minimised |
Bow down to the Jargon King |
All questions become so simple |
If we eat the inane answer |
If we all agree to ju-ju speak |
We fit into the formula |
We all without exception |
Approve the rule |
We don’t understand |
He must be clever |
He must be clever |
He must be right |
He must be right |
We don’t understand |
Closed the ranks and barricades |
Imposed the secret language |
Complexity all catch-phrased |
Word-drugged any anguish |
Pigeon-holed allusions |
Shut the vault behind us |
It’s an obvious conclusion |
We’ll be the chattels of His Highness |
Bow down to the Jargon King |
And his minion code-words |
Here comes the reign |
