the ceremonial post


The Old Man knew
Once he made his calls
The Citizens' Declaration
Nothing will stop its flow

The ceremonial post
He doesn't need it anyway
He has his time
So he has to make way

The Cabinet made the call
On their former boss once they bowed
Now he was out of the circle
The boys thought they could be men!

Remember the Old Man
He may have his faults
He may have trained them
Now they can bite him back

The Old Man has his lists
He hasn't used it to make them cry
The wily former prime minister
He isn't a fool to keep quiet

Now the boys want to celebrate
The age of Man they haven't learned
They still talk like small kids on the block
The Old Man will feel sorry for them
