Lyrics

Feet Of Clay

Convention, invention, intention,

Some people think,
Some people blink,
Some people like to tweet,
Others they still use ink.

Some people say,
Some people bray,
Some people like to bleat,
Others they shout "hooray!"

Convention, invention, intention,
Suspect, reject, affect,
Object, eject, correct,
Not intervention, prevention!

Some people drink,
Some people sink,
Some people like it neat,
Others take a seat on the brink.

Some people play,
Some people pray,
Some believe they're elite
But all have feet of clay!

Convention, invention, intention,
Suspect, reject, affect,
Object, eject, correct,
Not intervention, prevention!

Some people play,
Some people pray,
Some believe they're elite
But all have feet of clay!
