[Intro: Chris Lowe]
Everybody, e-e-everybody
Everybody, e-e-everybody
Everybody, e-e-everybody
Everybody, e-e-everybody
Everybody, e-e-everybody
Everybody, e-e-everybody
Everybody, e-e-everybody
Everybody, e-e-everybody

[Interlude]

[Verse 1: Neil Tennant]
Each morning after Sunblest
Feel the benefit, mental arithmetic
I waited by the staff room
In time for benediction

[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
Living a law just short of delusion
When we fall in love there's confusion
This must be the place I waited years to leave

[Verse 2: Neil Tennant]
To our voices nobody's listening
We shiver in the rain by the touchline
Then a coach ride to the station
"My lord, the carriage awaiteth!"

[Chorus: Neil Tennant & Chris Lowe]
Living a law just short of delusion
When we fall in love there's confusion
This must be the place I waited years to leave
(Everybody jump to attention)
This must be the place I waited years to leave
(Everybody, e-e-everybody, everybody, e-e-everybody)

[Post-Chorus: Neil Tennant & Chris Lowe]
And how
(Everybody, e-e-everybody, everybody, e-e-everybody)
How long?
(Everybody, e-e-everybody, everybody, e-e-everybody)
(Everybody, e-e-everybody, everybody, e-e-everybody)
(Everybody, e-e-everybody, everybody, e-e-everybody)
(Everybody, e-e-everybody, everybody jump to attention)

[Bridge: Neil Tennant & Chris Lowe]
I'm listening to the words I thought I'd never hear again
A litany of saints and other ordinary men
Kneeling on the parquet, whatever has gone wrong?
The fear and feeling hopelessness, I don't want to belong

[Interlude]

[Verse 3: Neil Tennant]
I dreamt I was back in uniform
And a candidate for examination
History, someone had blundered
And a voice rapped "knuckle under!"

[Chorus: Neil Tennant & Chris Lowe]
Living a law just short of delusion
When we fall in love there's confusion
This must be the place I waited years to leave
(Everybody jump to attention)
This must be the place I waited years to leave

[Post-Chorus: Neil Tennant & Chris Lowe]
And how
(Everybody, e-e-everybody, everybody, e-e-everybody)
(Everybody, e-e-everybody, everybody jump to attention)
And how
How long?

[Interlude]

[Bridge: Andrei Vyshinsky]
"...наш народ одного: раздавите проклятую гадину!"
"Требует наш народ одного: раздавите проклятую гадину!"
"Требует наш народ одного: раздавите проклятую гадину!"
"Требует наш народ одного: раздавите проклятую гадину!"
"Требует наш народ одного: раздавите проклятую гадину!"
"Требует наш народ одного: раздавите проклятую гадину!"

[Interlude]

[Outro: Andrei Vyshinsky]
"Требует наш народ одного: раздавите проклятую гадину!"
("Vyshinsky")
("Vyshinsky")
