lyrics

It’s a pleasure, a pleasure to be useful,
surprising how long it took me to see…
a pleasure to be dutiful
only the question remains…how may I be?

Whether in the realm of friendship,
where I’m good for a laugh and frequently liquid.
Or be it the forge of industry,
I am the deadline, I’m the one you want to stick with.

As long as there’s a need,
for as long as there’s a purpose I’m filling it,
as long there’s a call to heed
I’ll heed it, and be your useful idiot.

I’ve all my life been a useful idiot,
surprising just how far one can get,
suppressing desire and courting denial
and spiralling deep into rage and regret.

It’s one thing being useful
and another being an idiot.
Like whiskey and cola, coming together
it’s a wonderful whole other thing that you get.

As long as there’s a need,
for as long as there’s a purpose I’m filling it,
as long there’s a call to heed
I’ll heed it and be your useful idiot.
