Song | Vote Brand X |
Artist | Peter Hammill |
Album | In a Foreign Town |
作词 : Hammill | |
Here's the modern political man, for sure he's nobody's fool, | |
believes in media coverage as a promotional tool. | |
Trust in him because he's got the right face; | |
just in case you harbour doubt | |
here is a slogan to tout. | |
He's such a principled man, all heart, ruled by his brain: | |
You've seen the TV commercials, you've seen the poster campaign, | |
you've seen the ads in the papers, there's nothing else to explain. | |
Just some words to maximise the market, | |
just a message that will reach the target, | |
promises that turn to dust. | |
He is a man you can trust. | |
This is a man of the people in politics now. | |
Politics now, it's just like selling soap powder, | |
no money down – you lucky punters – | |
full guarantee, | |
five year's trial free! | |
He is a man you can trust. | |
By dint of market research he knows which truths he should tell; | |
he's got the mark of conviction, it serves the agency well; | |
yes, he's on course for election in politics now. | |
Trust the propagandists' manifesto, | |
trust the politician with the promo, | |
trust the ads to buy your vote. | |
Vote for brand x, it's just like selling soap powder, | |
whatever next? You lucky punters, | |
full guarantee... | |
Whatever next? | |
Show trials by decree... | |
The show trials are free, | |
the show trials come free, | |
vote for brand x. |
