Lyrics
DEMOCRACY
Democracy, Democracy
It is full of hypocrisy
Democracy, Democracy
Not what you want it to be
Democracy, Democracy
It is full of hypocrisy
Democracy, Democracy
Not what you want it to be
And it won’t set you free
Whenever you go out to vote
Please, make sure to note
To cast a ballot in protest
For the one you least detest
The more you try to resist
The greater they persist
The body politic is strong
Won’t you just sing along
Democracy, Democracy
It is full of hypocrisy
Democracy, Democracy
Not what you want it to be
And it won’t set you free
Are you looking for a change?
Like some chairs to arrange
Don’t bother to complain
Cease, surrender, and abstain
Is there a glimmer of hope
As they treat you like a dope
Showered with vile disdain
Leaving a very nasty stain
Democracy, Democracy
It is full of hypocrisy
Democracy, Democracy
Not what you want it to be
When are you going to see
That it won’t set you free
Yes, It’s full of it now
Oh, and just how!
Try not have a big row
As this is all they allow
Tolerate all those lies
Let out that sigh
All may not be lost
So Vote, at any cost
Democracy, Democracy
It is full of hypocrisy
Democracy, Democracy
Not what you want it to be
When are you going to see
That it won’t set you free
No, it won’t set you free
Set you free, set you free, set you free
