Текст песни Song Of Accountability - Beau

It goes without saying, so much can go wrong
We know that it's true, as we're scraping along
But luckily, no one can ever contest
It's perfectly clear where the buck comes to rest
Important, imperative, vital to see
Accountability

We hear it from the city, and we hear it in the shires
It never fails to reassure, and always it inspires
It emphasises duty as it fortifies the soul
The order from the very top, "Assistant heads must roll"

The Archbishop knew it, the Bishop had lied
Monseigneur was having his bit on the side
With media casting a critical eye
"No ducking and diving, no passing on by"
Came thundering down from the Holiest See
Accountability

We hear it from the clergy when their cover has been blown
Comfort for the innocent the guilty will atone
Just one more encyclical on one more vellum scroll
Another order from the top, "Assistant heads must roll"

The hospital somehow had failed to explain
When questioned repeatedly time and again
The sufferers who oddly expire in their care
With ringing of hands and with cries of despair
The CEO testified how there must be
Accountability

We hear it from the hospitals, it's gratefully received
That crumb of comfort handed out to those who are bereaved
Who gather 'round to hear the boss man herald and extol
His order from the very top, "Assistant heads must roll"

There'd been half-a-dozen, holed up in the fort
The Adjutant put in his evening report
Six little soldier boys, out in the sun
Who ran out of ammo, and then there were none
An honourable soldier, he knew there would be
Accountability

We hear it from the Ministers, those sorcerers of spin
Who hold their hands up willingly to take it on the chin
Who run the table, deal the deck, and in the end control
The orders from the very top, "Assistant heads must roll"
