English Ivy

Tendrils twisting leviathan
The sun never sets and just keeps
growing to
Wherever yon set your grimy
shoots soon you take roots
Tsunami the pansies, the tulips tremble
with the other coloured folks in the garden
Twisting round python
She's got snakes in your ears
Sucking life out of the earth
and the coffers and the souls
All in the name of stately pay
And civilizing grace

And wot's this upstart away
cross the pond?
Another ivy plays its invisible hand
at the wand
We're regular thugs but our buttons
will outshine the sun
Gold amassed and we'll
take yours neighbor
We always need just a little more
Reaching empires reaching battle
The vines in the pool, they're up on the roof,
and unless you want to tear everything out
the ivy will not be gone soon

So,
make your whites
walk the plank
Reposses the lands for the poor
We'll be back soon you see
With our loans and our firms and our
cash and our words technology you
cannot escape, we've got all the
cards,
And you've planted our words in your hearts
when you bought your medusa tvs

You see with the eyes of the butler
in but outside
English Ivy Bourgeoise

We could burn down the house like the русскиs
But I don't think it'd change anything

Oh Ivy, how can we be changed?
