A Band Named Brian - Scapegoat Lyrics

Whoops, there goes another scapegoat
Are we feeling happy now
Did we rid the world of evil
Can we get along somehow
Whoops, there goes another scapegoat
Are we feeling safer now
Did we save ourselves from Satan
Or enshrine a sacred cow
In '91 we watched in awe those pin-point bombing raids
Back then our boys were hunting down that evil wotsisname
With surgical precision we would exorcise the rot
And spill the blood of innocents we certainly would not
But spill it did as we looked on with incredulity
Surely not - they promised we'd be home in time for tea
Whoops, there goes another scapegoat
Are we feeling happy now
Did we rid the world of evil
Can we get along somehow
Whoops, there goes another scapegoat
Are we feeling safer now
Did we save ourselves from Satan
Or enshrine a sacred cow
Forward on a decade, glassy towers tumble down
Within a day we all know who to hate and who to hound
But this one hides away in caves, he isn't playing fair
So what good luck his predecessing villain is still there
Whoops, there goes another scapegoat
Are we feeling happy now
Did we rid the world of evil
Can we get along somehow
Whoops, there goes another scapegoat
Are we feeling safer now
Did we save ourselves from Satan
Or enshrine a sacred cow
Sure enough tomorrow we'll find someone else to blame
I'm opening a book if you want to guess at his name
And we can hunt that tyrant down from here to kingdom come
But mark my words it won't be bringing peace to anyone
If we really want to cure this world and rid it of its ills
Perhaps we should bombard the poor and needy with goodwill
Stop pouring all our efforts into settling the score
Forget what we're against and demonstrate what we are for
Whoops, there goes another scapegoat
Are we feeling happy now
Did we rid the world of evil
Can we get along somehow
Whoops, there goes another scapegoat
Are we feeling safer now
Did we save ourselves from Satan
Or enshrine a sacred cow
Another ten years later, suddenly out of the blue
That nice man in the White House has some news for me and you
We've got our man, it took a while, we're sorry for the wait
But hey, we're on the way to one big happy global state
Whoops, there goes another scapegoat
Are we feeling happy now
Did we rid the world of evil
Can we get along somehow
Whoops, there goes another scapegoat
Are we feeling safer now
Did we save ourselves from Satan
Or enshrine a sacred cow
Whoops, there goes another scapegoat
Are we feeling happy now
Did we rid the world of evil
Can we get along somehow
Whoops, there goes another scapegoat
Are we feeling safer now
Did we save ourselves from Satan
Or enshrine a sacred cow
Whoops, there goes another scapegoat
