Politics Lyrics

I've seen your face on a million TV screens

It can't be easy, as easy as it seems

When you wake up and leave your dreary bed

How do you face the words running through your head

You might make the headlines in the morning sun

But do you really think you're fooling anyone

With no integrity, honesty or shame

Look in the mirror, and tell me who's to blame

So you rule the internet like a great big game

We'd love to change you, but you're all the bloody same

Self-serving policies fed by fear and hate

You are the thing that's stopping this nation being great

You might make the headlines in the morning sun

But do you really think you're fooling anyone

With no integrity, honesty or shame

Look in the mirror, and tell me who's to blame

Whatever happened to all the protest songs?

Are we just happy to be led along

Whatever happened to all the protest songs?

Are we just happy to be led along

I hope you're still around in fifty fucking years

To see the chaos and feel the sting of tears

Of all the children we've saddled with this mess

You could have been much more, you couldn't be much less

You might make the headlines in the morning sun

But do you really think you're fooling anyone

With no integrity, honesty or shame

Look in the mirror, and tell me who's to blame
