GOD SAVE THE QUEEN
A reworking of the Sex Pistols classic, to "celebrate" 60 years of successful parasitism in the form of the 2012 Jubilee.
While we might not exactly subscribe to the theory that the so-called royal family are really shape-shifting lizards from outer space (although you never know...) they certainly seem to be able to exert a strange influence, worthy of that arch-parasite Count Dracula, over the masses that pay for their lifestyle.
They are not gods, not saints. Nor were they elected. They are merely there because their father was there, and their grandfathers, ad infinitum. And because we are stupid enough to allow them to remain there.
If you live in the UK you are not a citizen of a modern state, you are a subject of an unelected monarchy. If you wish to join the army, air force, police, become a Member of Parliament, or serve as a judge (among other careers) you have first to swear loyalty to the monarch. Not the people you might think you joined up to serve, but an unelected, overprivilidged freeloader and their offspring.
It doesn't really make sense when you stop to think about it. Does it ?
