Government Surplus

Now I'm government surplus
No longer required
Seems that my civil circus
Membership has expired

I hear the national anthems
And I choke on the tunes
Unless I misunderstand them
They're gonna send in the goons

My security clearance
And my future's withdrawn
My disappearance
Surprises no-one

I came up with the facts
Instead of the goods
The dark actor acts
And I'm dead in the woods

They wouldn’t dare have an inquest
In case questions are asked
And most people lose interest
Before the monster's unmasked

You can always recycle
The honour you gave
Like St George and St Michael
Were just a pawn and a knave

Death is a picnic
compared to the pain
What I was proud of
now feels like a stain

They called me distinguished
On Her Majesty's list
Then they had me extinguished
With a trick of the wrist...
