The world that was has now become a cause
Inspiring simple souls all over
Who have a knack of always looking back
While drunk or even sober
No matter what you may have often heard
There's been no death of satire
There's more, not less, when: Thank you NHS
Is painted on a Spitfire

The world that was has now become a cause
All over

Black and white, one truth they know
The modern world will have to go
The world that was draws memories of our past
Which seem a wee bit hazy
From what I see, the summary seems to be
More meat with extra gravy
And though I feel I'm a rational man
Sometimes I'm sorely tempted
But worship of a past that never was is totally demented

The world that was has now become a cause
All over
