Jarvis - Running The World (Kaiser Quartett Version)
So here’s the story: about a month ago the Kaiser Quartett sent me a recording of their arrangement of “Running the World” & asked if I’d consider singing on it. So I did. The song will feature on one of their upcoming record releases but - given the current campaign - we thought you might like to get a sneak preview right now.
Merry Xmas!
Jarvis xx

Jarvis - Running The World - Lyrics
Well did you hear, there's a natural order
Those most deserving will end up with the most
That the cream cannot help but always rise up to the top
Well I say, "Sh*t floats"
If you thought things had changed
Friend, you'd better think again
Bluntly put, in the fewest of words:
C*nts are still running the world
Now the working classes are obsolete
They are surplus to society's needs
So let 'em all kill each other
And get it made overseas.
That's the word, don't you know
From the guys that's running the show
Let's be perfectly clear boys and girls,
C*nts are still running the world
Oh feed your children on crayfish and lobster tails,
Find a school near the top of the league
In theory I respect your right to exist
I will kill you if you move in next to me
Ah, it stinks, it s*cks, it's anthropologically unjust
Oh, but the takings are up by a third, oh so
C*nts are still running the world
The free market is perfectly natural
Do you think that I'm some kind of dummy?
It's the ideal way to order the world
"F*ck the morals, does it make any money?"
And if you don't like it, then leave
Or use your right to protest on the street.
Yeah use your right, but don't imagine that it's heard
C*nts are still running the world
