Public servant
Number one
Sits in Whitehall
Is waited on

Do they know something
We don't know

Public servant
Number two
Sits in Whitehall
with nothing to do

Do they know something
We don't know

Chief of staff
In a big black car
Buying arms
For his jungle war

Does he know something
That we don't know
We don't know

Do they know something
We don't know

Take your money
Again and again
Are you working for you
Are we working for them

Do they know something
We don't know
We don't know
We don't know
We don't know
