We'll begin at the top:

send someone to the loft

to shed light on the dark and spooky;

to seek out the machines

that capture our dreams

and other instruments of cruelty.

Let's excise and expose

what lies under clothes

and strip the whole joint naked!

So that nothing's intact

let's be ruthless, in fact,

and if it ain't broke then break it!

 

Go dismantle the beds

where the uneasy heads

will no longer lie amending;

then eradicate

all that is straight

by inserting something bent in.

Bring out the wrecking ball!

It's unprofessional

and against all we ought hold sacred;

I want to take a knife

to this dying life

and if it ain't broke then break it!

 

Come, shatter the screens

that reflect on the scenes

where we spend our time in quarters;

and when the cops discover

we've killed Big Brother

then the camera won't have caught us!

We'll ransack the clinic

of all within it:

if it says Do Not Shake we'll shake it! 

Let's call time on the calm,

raise a general alarm

and if it ain't broke then break it!

 

Trade in these sedatives

for the drug that gives!

For the potions which disinhibit!

Spend the petty cash

on a superstore dash

through the zone marked wine and spirits.

When there's no money left

pursue petty theft,

whatever we want we'll take it!

If the weather's nice

we'll have drinks with ice

and if the ice ain't broken then break it!

 

Excavate the files

where the treason trials

were dramatised and documented.

Overwhelm the shredder

with each word and letter

that was wrung from the tormented.

Start the final fire,

build a funeral pyre

just as tall as we can make it.

To the flames consign

every Thou Shalt Not sign

and if it ain't broke then break it!

 

Let us run amok

before they stop the clock,

there's no points in good behaviour.

Let me be the man

who will fling the flan

in the face of this year's saviour.

As the days approach

that we fear most -

the cast into the snake-pit,

pause a while and reflect,

pay your last respects

then if it ain't broken break it!
