Jarvis Cocker - Running The World

Protest songs can be a little irksome, can they not? And, thus, the good old days of the 1960s, riddled with the bloody things, ended on a sour note as nobody could ever find what the answer actually was that was supposedly blowing in the wind. Yet, every now and then...
Which brings us to Jarvis Cocker - never afraid to tell it like it is or, when he's bored, shake his ass in the direction of a deserving subject. When Live8 was taking place last year, he took the opportunity to pen a song about those that control the purse strings that, if pulled open in the right direction, could solve many of the world's ills. Jarvo, not bothering about garnering any airplay, doesn't pull any punches. "Cunts are still running the world," he merrily shouts. And he's right, of course. There are some highly amusing, high-impact turns of phrase. "Did you hear there's a natural order, that the deserving will end up with the most, The cream can't help rising to the top, Well I say...shit floats." Strange, I never imagined that the revolution would be led by a gangly bloke in glasses.
