The Idiot Songtext
von Henry Priestman

The natural habitation of the tiger′s under threat
From the deforestation and a rise in Third World debt
And you don't even see those sparrows flying overhead
′Cos it's said, they're all dead

But the idiot is doing fine
Yeah, the idiot is not in decline
And the idiot is doing ok
′Cos the thing about the idiot
Is there′s one more everyday

They're multiplying faster than locusts in a plague
And they′re breeding in the places where the money is all made
And they're feeding on the carcas of common sense decayed
And they grow fat off our backs


Oh the idiot is doing fine
Yeah, the idiot is not in decline
And the idiot is doing ok
′Cos the thing about the idiot
Is there's one more everyday

He′s doing ok, he's doing ok

Seems like life moves ever faster but the traffic moves so slow
We're all in such a hurry but we got nowhere to go
And love and understanding, well it′s at an all time low
Oh no no, oh no no

But the idiot is doing fine
Yeah, the idiot is not in decline
And the idiot is doing ok
′Cos the thing about the idiot
Is there's one more everyday

Yeah the thing about the idiot
Is there′s one more everyday
