London bitches falling down (I got your facial right here)
hear ye hear ye!
submit now before the jury
all things imagined or wrought
voiced or writ
must put up with our bullshit
why us?
because we make such a fuss
and because we've read something
someone said we should
but please, don't let me be misunderstood
with all of our hands our ass we can't find
yet here on high emit the essence so rare and refined
of the flatulent hauteur of our pedantic mind
we have the critique boutique
and we're oh so chic
come admire our technique
we run it by our committee
then post in your group and say lookie see
isn't that unique?
ripped it from someone in Mozambique
our court of cliche will stifle your style
we'll muck it up in our committee's
mile high pile
an affectation in lieu of a clue
it's monkey see, monkey redo
so come run our gauntlet of pomposity
where we'll make you out to be a curiosity
then we'll gush all over ourselves
when one of our fellows spouts off with our tells
we'll stroke it up good as is our swiz
cuz we're the wanna be Wiz
pull back the curtain reveals the biz
though we profess not to miss a trick
in reality we're just a clique
come witness our shtick
but by this time you might just say suck my…..
