Protest song about the poor quality of politicians here in the UK.
Lyrics
Verse 1: Hey Mr. Politician why must our soldiers die?
Deep in some foreign land because you told a lie
You may apologise for each and every one
That’s little comfort when a mother’s lost her son.
Verse 2: Hey Mr. Politician who do you represent?
It seems unlikely it is your constituents
Lining your pockets and just adding to your wealth
There’s only one you represent and that’s yourself.
Chorus: Your ego knows no bounds, your arrogance astounds
Talking of your success, when we’re all in a mess
Whilst there is day and night, you’ll never get it right
If you just think about yourself.
Verse 3: Hey Mr. Politician you promise us the earth
Why don’t you add the sun and moon for what it’s worth
Making grand promises you know you’ll never keep
I’m sure it’s something over which you lose no sleep.
Verse 4: Hey Mr. Politician your power you abuse
Doing all kinds of things in conflict with your views
Why should we listen when you tell us what to do?
When what you say to us does not apply to you.
Chorus: Repeat
Whilst there is day and night, you’ll never get it right
If you just think about yourself.
If you just think about yourself
