Go ahead and smear him because he makes you doubt
Because he has denied himself the things you can’t live without
Laugh at him behind his back just like the others do
Remind him of the knives behind him when he comes walking through
But he’s loved by all of us
Resent him to the bone
You got something better?
You’ve got a heart of stone
Stop your conversation when he passes on the stairs
Hope he falls upon himself, no-one really cares
Because he can’t be exploited by media moguls anymore
Because he can’t be bribed or bought by the things that you adore
But he’s loved by all of us
Resent him to the bone
You got something better?
You’ve got a heart of stone
When the whip that’s keeping you in line doesn’t make him jump
Say he’s hard-of-hearing, as ridiculous as Donald Trump
Say he’s out of step with reality as you try to test his nerve
Because he doesn’t pay no tribute to the Queen that you serve
But he’s loved by all of us
Resent him to the bone
You got something better?
You’ve got a heart of stone
Say that he’s a loser because he uses common sense
Because he doesn’t increase his worth at someone else’s expense
Because he’s not afraid of trying, he embraces others with a smile
Because he doesn’t threaten immigrants, say he’s got no style
But he’s loved by all of us
Resent him to the bone
You got something better?
You’ve got a heart of stone
You can laugh at austerity, you can play your nuclear games
You think that when you rest at last you’ll go back from where you came
But you’ve pocketed your bonuses and you’ve changed since the womb
What happened to the real you, you’ve been captured but by whom?
But he’s loved by all of us
Resent him to the bone
You got something better?
You’ve got a heart of stone
