Momus - Little Winners lyrics

Helicopter up the mountain
When you see a zebra never stop
Chop down each obstructing pear tree
Until you unfairly reach the top

Spoil your child with a little leg-up
Squeeze him to the top of the shitheap
With the headstart that his
Uncle has paid for
He'll be king of the manure within the week

Climb the mountain with your helicopter
Bullying the weakest on the way
Rule the West but do not kill the messenger
Reporting for The World Today

Machiavelli had the method
Tried and tested's always best
There's no room for beginners when
You're breeding little winners
Smug young thugs raised to rule the West

So helicopter up every mountain
When you see a pregnant woman stab
Nature is no socialist
She's red in tooth and claw
So remember to take what you can grab

No time for playing now or failure
Soon there won't be any time to sleep
It's the human race
And someone's got to run it
Little winners don't have time to weep
