Here's some middle english for you scholars of renown Cave drawings of antiquity and artifacts I've found It's still the middle ages, we're medieval boys and girls It's a funny old new world The King is in his castle and the queen's gone underground Everyone admires the plague which rages all around They're banking on insurance and they're claiming force majeure It's a funny old new world The fabelled Tower Of Babel, well, they got it off the ground When the pope's creative then there's always cash around Presuming you can talk the talk, they'll make you Duke Of Earl It's a funny old new world From Homer to The Simpsons, they've kept us entertained With things that seem to others to be simple or inane One day it was John Milton and the next it's Milton Berle It's a funny old new world The futile system's still a joke, the witches still get ducked Cash has changed to credit now, they'll never stop the buck Jesus said 'I'll take the gold and you can keep the myrrh' It's a funny old new world The crusades never finished cos there's always someone more Who will not see it our way til they've lost the holy war It used to take one hundred years, now it happens in a blur It's a funny old new world Call me optimistic but I think we're near the end Perchance the renaissance is not too far around the bend So bring on the Medicis, the Borgias and their Botticelli girls It's a funny old new world
