lyrics

well i saw this man with his master plan talking on the TV
with his greasy smile and his suave yuppy style, he said his piece

"listen to me! listen to me! listen to me!
trust me i'm from the screen, radio and magazine
your future is safe, prosperous, well cared for, better than before
rest easy lives won't falter under me
go to sleep hand over your dreams
i have the answers i bring the change"

he keeps on talking, loosening his jacket
big mouth flapping, sweaty hands waving
he starts his yelling, his tie is choking his neck
red face spit flying, he is passionate

"listen to me! listen to me! listen to me!
bludgeon the bludger, freeze all the freebies
sell off your mother, piss on the youth
put me on the pillar put your head on a pillow
go to sleep hand over your dreams
i have the answers, i bring the change"

run off to the ballot box
for old git fascist cash lust economists
run off to the ballot box
for import export stolen land conglomerates
run off to the ballot box
for shit shinning reformists

no shit smear in a suit is gonna make it better on a benefit
minimum wage nine to five slave
street kid wheel chair
homeless man stolen land, fracked up gouged out sold on

put them up on the pillar, rest your head down on the pillow
go to sleep hand over your dreams
run off to the ballot box
