Poignantly phrased to shift the burden of the blame
|
Sick and tired but you keep on marching in their same old parade
|
Accuse, construe - dare I even venture - abuse,
|
Frustrations channelled through the paths worn well with use
|
|
Binary politics, packaged sound bite rhetoric;
|
And you think it makes no difference?
|
Watered down party lines, beholden to corporate ties;
|
And you still inquire why?
|
|
Maybe you can tell me when my vote was decided for me?
|
Oh, oh... Oh ,oh
|
I guess the enemy of the enemy, is still the fucking enemy
|
Oh, oh... Oh ,oh.
|
|
And one more time around,
|
The played out reasons why:
|
"Jack knife the diesel to let the bicycle pass on by"
|
Reproaching failed attempts
|
At restoring representative government
|
This poli-earthquake is long over due
|
|
Plastic smiles and candy lies,
|
Prestige built on family ties;
|
And you find it so offensive.
|
Dirty mouths and muddied hands,
|
Promises written in sand;
|
Still every election you comply?
|
|
Maybe you can tell me when my vote was decided for me?
|
Oh, oh... Oh ,oh
|
I guess the enemy of the enemy, is still the fucking enemy
|
Oh, oh... Oh ,oh.
|
|
A pointed finger, a furrowed brow,
|
Relying on the way's it's been,
|
To get us through the now
|
A waning courage, just play it safe.
|
Well this is where safe's landed us: The problems of today!
|
|
Reach out a broken hand! - You have the right to make demands!
|
Reach out a broken hand! - We have the right to make demands!
|
|
Maybe you can tell me when my vote was decided for me?
|
Oh, oh... Oh ,oh
|
I guess the enemy of the enemy, is still the fucking enemy
|
Oh, oh... Oh ,oh.
