In The... All Together

Another dawn, another date
 Another meeting of the ol' G8
 To change the world, make history
 Not compromise or hesitate
 Try something, try anything
 Try help the situation
 Amidst the cries and demonstrations
 We hear the plans of favoured nations
 "If it could be done", they said, "the sooner then, the better"
 "It would be good if it was better than the way it was before" they said
 In the mire all together, when there's so much to admire
 It seems "the emperor's new clothes" is such a seasonable attire
 The issues are of great import
 The problems very clear
 From fevered minds and tortured brows
 There's such a lot to fear
 From climate change to debt relief
 Surely couldn't come much bigger
 All the power that is nuclear
 Whose finger's on the trigger?
 On the horns of this dilemma with death's spectre in the wings
 Where democracy is waning, clearly it's a "people thing"
 Yes, we're in it all together and all our wishes are laid bare
 We taste "the truth without the trimmings" and we find it meagre fare
 Welcome to "a day in the life show", starring you and me and all
 It's better than your realiTV, you just couldn't make this stuff up
 As pandemics spread around the world...
 We've got pestilence, famine, fire and flood for the people in glasshouses
 Now the good will is all over and we're left with nothing good
 It seems "the best laid plans of mice and men" get trampled in the mud
 Yes, we're in it all together, right up to our nether lip
 In this cesspit we inhabit, only takes a slip
 "If it could be done", they said, "the sooner then, the better"
 "It would be good if it was better than the way it was before" they said
 They said nothing too explicit, there's no meat upon the bones
 "We'll just have to wait and see", they said, "just see how it goes...", they said
