作词 : Bragg | |
When one voice rules the nation | |
Just because they're top of the pile | |
Doesn't mean their vision is the clearest | |
The voices of the people | |
Are falling on deaf ears | |
Our politicians all become careerists | |
They must declare their interests | |
But not their company cars | |
Is there more to a seat in parliament | |
Than sitting on your arse | |
And the best of all this bad bunch | |
Is shouting to be heard | |
Above the sound of ideologies clashing | |
Outside the patient millions | |
Who put them into power | |
Expect a little more back for their taxes | |
Like school books, beds in hospitals | |
And peace in our bloody time | |
All they get is old men grinding axes | |
Who've built their private fortunes | |
On the things they can rely | |
The courts, the secret handshake | |
The Stock | |
Exchange and the old school tie | |
For God and | |
Queen and | |
Country All things they justify | |
Above the sound of ideologies clashing | |
God bless the civil service | |
The nations saving grace | |
While we expect democracy | |
They're laughing in our face | |
And although our cries get louder | |
The laughter gets louder still | |
Above the sound of ideologies clashing | |
Above the sound of ideologies, | |
Above the sound of ideologies, | |
Above the sound of ideologies clashing |
