The Jargon King

Peter Hammill

    He prescribes the subject
    he proscribes outsiders
    his terms have a golden ring.
    He wants to find some order
    quantifying chaos
    in words that all the children sing.
    He tabulates the lexicon
    vocabulary minimised
    bow down to the Jargon King.
    All questions become so simple
    if we eat the inane answer
    if we all agree to ju-ju speak
    we fit into the formula
    we all without exception
    approve the rule.

    We don't understand
    he must be clever, he must be clever
    he must be right, he must be right
    we don't understand

    Closed the ranks and barricades
    imposed the secret language
    complexity all catch-phrased
    word-drugged any anguish
    pigeon-holed allusions
    shut the vault behind us
    It's an obvious conclusion
    we'll be the chattels of His Highness.

    Bow down to the Jargon King
    and his minion code-words.
    Here comes the reign
