Whatever It Takes – Andy Gordon – 18 March 2006

As I stand by watching,
helplessly I witness
As the whole world goes to shit
We choose to cheat to prosper
And loose a whole lot more so
no soul left, no heart to heal.

There were no kids thrown over
No core promise unbroken
the money drives this country now
He’s tapped into the zeitgeist
this virus has infected
And now we’re all lost in his spell,

Whatever it takes, whatever it takes
Whatever it takes, whatever it takes.
To win

We think we’re brave and noble
We sip our latte’s, scoffing
How the hell has it come to this?
When will it dawn on us?
Perhaps in ten years time
The time to act is here and now

A revolution, let’s flush it out
It won’t be easy there is no doubt
I’m telling you that if we don’t act swiftly
It will be our eternal regret
(We can’t be silent anymore)

So now I urge all you here
This won’t be easy to hear
My friends it is the only way
If you see Johnny sometime
You take a wooden stake and
Thrust it deep into his heart

The judge will ask you questions
poor memory is your defence
You were not there, how could you know?
Cos this is where we’re at now
It’s worked for Downer and Vaile
Sometimes you’ve got to take a stand
You know,

Whatever it takes, whatever it takes
Whatever it takes, whatever it takes.
To win
