Out-take from Sketches of the September Leaf. Found its way into the World Service setlist.
lyrics
We won't be regarded 'til we're dead
They'll acknowledge us not before the audit
Worry not, our genius will be spared
Just far too late for us to reap the plaudits
Cause you and I are children of a lesser god
We're not what the public wanted
Though they think that we're out of our heads
They'll come around but not until we've snuffed it
Our entry in the all-star hall of fame
Will read "They ruled the world after they left it"
Cause you and I, we did more than they thought we could
It just wasn't what they wanted
It just wasn't what they wanted...
Cause you and I are children of a lesser god
We're not what the public wanted.
