lyrics

I heard them talking the whole day through
Oh they must run the country or know people that do
Oh who do they think they’re fooling in those business suits?
They’re just some well dressed criminals with they’re eye on you
And what they can’t con away is someone else’s flaw
For how are they supposed to rob the country with such stringent laws?
“It’s not right for the people!” they argue on both sides
And with enough money behind their words why would they lie?

So vote for the candidate of the party for he’s one of us and not one of them
Vote for the candidate of the party so there can be a party to congratulate him

Such a surprising sight in the home of the brave
Where we’ve abolished slavery yet we still have slaves
And if you’ve got something to say, well you got every right
But if you actually speak, prepare to be gassed on sight
Now I know the difference between lies and truth
But from their words it appears very few of them do
For how could they say that we truly are free
When you can still legally buy democracy?

So vote for the candidate of the party for he’s one of us and not one of them
Vote for the candidate of the party so there can be a party to congratulate him
Oh their ears are wide open so what you say goes right through
For unless you have money, you won’t be listened to
So pick one or the other for there must be one who wins
Just as long as it’s not one of them

Oh, just give us back our rights
Oh, do you place no value on human life?
Oh, who do we have to pay?
Oh, so that you’ll actually listen to what we say?

So vote for the candidate of the party for he’s one of us and not one of them
Vote for the candidate of the party so there can be a party to congratulate him
