Lyrics
Seven compartments exactly As a series of logical steps Fit the facts exactly (In ‘Family, Socialisation and Interaction Process’)
The only remaining problem Is that the seven Are logically replete (There’s no imperialism Or exploitation or excess)
‘Mechanic power then ministers To health and lengthening Leisure gladdens greatening Wealth’ …
Natural law Supported anyone with things To achieve In the definite task of Expansion
Rationality Diverted possibilities Long enough In a pattern o Hierarchical function
‘Mechanic power Then ministers to health And lengthening leisure Gladdens greatening wealth.’
