Motherland lyrics

Now, the usual formalities
Everyone, hold all your questions please
You`ll have your opportunities to
Shoot the breeze or cut the cheese

But upon this juncture I must state
How immensely you appreciate
The illusion of grandeur I create
When every trait I overrate
And every word gesticulate
In praise of the motherland

Puff we now ourselves with pride
Swelling outward far and wide
For God Herself is on our side
With heaven`s plan for the motherland

Regardless of to what we pledge
The electorate gives me the edge
And the boost to my ego that can`t be measured
Ruling you is such a pleasure

Speaking of good taste in dames
I submit to you my list of names
Maybe some of them come up short on brains
But good at diplomatic games
And sycophantic without shame
I give you the cabinet

The privilege is strictly ours
To have you watch while we devour
The crumbs of presidential power
That we can grub from Lilly

She`s got the wardrobe we adore
Her teeth are perfect, what is more
She knows what having friends is for
We`re silly over Lilly
Silly over Lilly
`Til we`re ill, we`ll sing it shrilly

Lilly is the nation`s pride
And we love her like a mother

You don`t know what this means to me
To be the one you run to see when
You need a mother

Tell us prime minister
Tell us prime minister
For the record
One time, prime minister

Sources state
That the Archbishop`s hiding some
Thing of interest
Something of interest

Sources state
Maybe you`re just a puppet of
Special interest
Some special interest
Special interest
Some special interest

We would like to know your posture please
On the hard line`s platform policies
Like providing free to all the nation
Mandatory mass castration

For the sake of common decency
The Judeo-Christian society
Wants to guarantee a pregnancy
To anyone past twenty-three

Tell us prime minister
Tell us prime minister
We`ve fresh ugly rumors going `round

For the sake of party unity
I`ve got photographs you`d like to see

Puff we now ourselves with pride
Swelling outward far and wide
For God Herself is on our side
With heaven`s plan for the motherland
