The Cupboard Was Bare

He enters the room and he shuts the door
He turns to the crowd who have taken the floor
They raise their hands but uncertain what for
His hand in the cupboard
Oh but the cupboard was bare

When it's over he asks them to find a decision to make
The light from their eyes is making his temples ache
He gathers their hundreds too close to make a mistake
He searches the cupboard
Oh but the cupboard was bare
