[Lyric] Governing Takes Brains (McCarthy)

[Verse 1]
You know, to be able to run the government
You need a bloody good brain
To be an MP, you must be someone well above
The common run to do the job as you'll properly
You need many, many qualities
Ordinary mortals can't command
I will tell you later what they all are

[Chorus]
Stupid fools say it's not hard
To do what I do
But let me tell you, it's hard
You couldn't do what I do
Don't even dream of it
You would never succeed
People as clever as me
Are very few and far between

[Verse 2]
You don't need to be in business to run a company
You really need to use your head
Show me a man of money
And I will show you a genius
To get to grips with the ins and outs
You all think that it's a piece of cake
But you know it's taken me many years
And I am very remarkable
[Chorus]
Stupid fools say it's not hard
To do what I do
I'm here to tell you it's hard
You couldn't do what I do
Don't even dream of it
You would never succeed
People as clever as me
Are very few and far between

[Verse 3]
So let me assure you
It's no picnic to be in charge of this land
You scruffy people, the lower orders
Just know your place
Don't ever you try at governing
You might find out how difficult it is

[Chorus]
Stupid fools say it's not hard
To do what I do
But let me tell you, it's hard
You couldn't do what I do
Don't even dream of it
You would never succeed
People as clever as me
Are very few and far between
[Outro]
We are not equal but we are different
It's a dangerous view to say we are born equal
It don't appeal to any one of the deputies
You know that equality is an impossible dream
