In Recognition
Lyricist:Charles Stobo Reid, Craig Morris Reid
In recognition of a hundred million album sales In recognition of your popularity You take your gaudy prize From people you said you despise You wear your self-respect upon your bended knee
In spite of all your claims It looks like you're just the same As every other clown who likes to put the crown Before or after their name
In recognition of your service to the working class In recognition of your party loyalty You get an ermine robe And you declare when you are probed You only took it so the missus would be pleased
In spite of all your claims It looks like you're just the same As every other clown who likes to put the crown Before or after their names
Oh vanity Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com It gets them one by one Cat, religion, monarchy But only in tale, fairly frail
In recognition of your bravery up on the stage In recognition of your bankability You get to wait in lines With soldiers crippled by land mines And you think it's the Yanks that don't get irony
In spite of all your claims It looks like you're just the same As every other clown who likes to put the crown Before or after their name
In spite of all your claims It looks like you're just the same As every other clown who likes to put the crown Before or after their name
Their name Their name Their name
