Voting doesn't work, 1-2-3
|
It's time you know your enemy
|
I won't pledge allegiance to hypocrisy
|
Your democracy, is not for me
|
So when we try to change this place
|
Courtroom pulls an about face
|
Fantasies of the master race
|
Our elections they erase
|
See once upon a time we were all free
|
When we lived in tribal societies
|
Peace, peace and harmony
|
And everything for the good of family
|
Yeah cancer people can't smoke weed
|
People voted to be free
|
But the facist rule decree
|
Pigs arresting you and me
|
|
(chorus)
|
Voting doesn't work. why?
|
When they don't like what we say, then they stop it in the courts
|
Voting doesn't work. why?
|
When they don't like what we say, then they stop it in the courts
|
Voting doesn't work. why?
|
When they don't like what we say, then they stop it in the courts
|
Voting doesn't work. why?
|
When they don't like what we say, then they stop it in the courts
|
|
President this, president that
|
Represent the ruling class
|
One says this (this) one says that (that)
|
Sounds the same, what choice is that
|
See, voting doesn't work 1-2-3
|
Coming from the nation of the Cherokee
|
How can you choose when you don't have a choice
|
How can you choose when you don't have a voice
|
Yeah, interest games, their interest rates
|
Secret power fueled by hate (hate)
|
Fear for cash
|
Cash for fear
|
Greenspan is the ruler here
|
Yeah, a pig is a pig
|
And they took it away
|
And I don't give a fuck about the things they say
|
It don't mean shit to me
|
Voting doesn't work it's easy to see that
|
|
Voting doesn't work. why?
|
When they don't like what we say, then they stop it in the courts
|
Voting doesn't work. why?
|
When they don't like what we say, then they stop it in the courts
|
Voting doesn't work. why?
|
When they don't like what we say, then they stop it in the courts
|
Voting doesn't work. why?
|
When they don't like what we say, then they stop it in the courts
|
|
Voting doesn't work I have seen
|
Along with piles of broken treaties
|
Your reality produces poverty, spiritually in a nation of greed
|
Well, who is working, who is not
|
Think votes count, well I think not
|
Doesn't matter what we say
|
Things will always go their way
|
Power to the people is just a fantasy
|
And they sell to us as an american dream
|
Power to the people is just a fantasy
|
And they sell to us as an american dream
|
Well your vote counts 1-2-3
|
Living in democracy
|
Everybody here is free
|
'Cause it's built for you and it's built for me
|
|
Voting doesn't work, why
|
When they don't like what we say they stop it in the courts
|
Voting doesn't work, why
|
When they don't like what we say they stop it in the courts
|
Voting doesn't work, why
|
When they don't like what we say they stop it in the courts
|
Voting doesn't work, why
|
When they don't like what we say they stop it in the courts
