It Doesn't Matter Who You Vote For, The Bastards Always Win

Cast your ballot to the left or right it's never mattered
Politicians always win be it the former or the latter
And they lay their heads on feathered beds
While the country lies in tatters

And it amazes me you still believe
That your two party system is democracy in action
'Cos it's freakily consistent
And they'll sell their policies for cash
To suit the current climate
And red will turn slowly bluer with no real attempts to hide it

So cast your ballot to the left or right it's never mattered
Politicians always win be it the former or the latter
They lay their heads on feathered beds
While the country lies in tatters

They plaster plastic smiles across their faces to promote
Another cynical attempt to sway opinion of the vote
To hypnotise the populous with propaganda on the hour
And we labour under false pretence of having any real power

So cast your ballot to the left or to the right it's never mattered
Politicians always win be it the former or the latter
They lay their heads on feathered beds
While the country lies in tatters

And I've never really understood the rules
Exactly what it is I'm supposed to choose
I've never really understood the game
They're all a bunch of lying wankers
And every lie's the same
Every lie's the same

I know that lots of people suffered
Lots of people died
So we can live in so called freedom
Yeah, and we can have the right
To vote for men and women
In who our country places our trust
But doesn't the expenses scandal
Prove they are all just laughing at us

So cast your ballot to the left or right it's never mattered
'Cos the bastards always be it the former or the latter
They lay their heads on feathered beds
While the country lies in tatters
And no one seems to think that matters
