Squabble At The Rotary Club

Everybody!

You want to be

The top dog

Permanently

And that consumes

Your waking hours

Until such time

That they're not waking hours

The human mind is an amazing piece of kit

But it's accepting nature doesn't really sit

With it's capacity for always being right

There'll be a squabble at the rotary club tonight

There'll be a quarrel over who said what to whom

There'll be a quibble over when you should say "whom"

There'll be some pettiness about some oversight

There'll be a squabble at the rotary club tonight

Everybody!

Loves inconsequence

And they're loving it

In the progressive tense

And you know

To win this time

Won't take

Too much thinking time

Now nit-picking over technicalities

And feeling pressure over trivialities

It all means that there is just one sure thing in sight

There'll be a squabble at the rotary club tonight

There'll be some bickering about a point inferred

There'll be recriminations over the dessert

There'll be a fracas over something misapplied

There'll be a squabble at the rotary club tonight

There'll be annoyance over yet-unknown offence

There'll be some stress over ambiguous expense

There'll be some sulking and a whispering campaign

There'll be a squabble at the rotary club again

Why is there so much violence in Britain today?

We're on a downward spiral it's the end of the age

We're sinking deep into the mire of self destruction and rage

There'll be some fisticuffs and something will get spilt

There'll be a cry of "just forget it, you'll get killed"

There'll be a tussle it'll help to clear the air

There'll be a story to relate to the au pair

There'll be squabble at the rotary club tonight
