Flunky by Craw (band) Lyrics

If a flunky wishes
To maintain his position
Its necessary to learn
How not to be good
And to use this knowledge or not
According to necessity
I have been giving much thought to the paper
That we discussed in yesterday's meeting
Subject to revision in light of conditions
I have then taken these following actions
Twice a month the joint staff
Has been revising the target list
It is then forwarded with the prior list
They become the reconciliation summary
I'm beginning to wonder
Is this what he meant by
Dirty hands dirty hands dirty hands
A substantial air interdiction campaign
Is clearly necessary and worthwhile
I have been giving much thought to the paper
I have reluctantly taken these following actions
If a flunky wishes
To maintain his position
It's necessary to learn
How not to be so good
Now I know for sure
This is what he meant by
Dirty hands
