Democracy (Explicit Lyrics Version) Verse 1: These blue meanies are Britain’s damnation, They close the libraries and raise the rent They told me not to give my change to the homeless in the street Now why're you so surprised at my discontent? Chorus: I’m seething with rage at this fucking pencil I’m so filled with hate for this fucking clown Democracy is fucked, that’s not accidental Tories wanna keep the people down Verse 2: You vote against environmental measures You vote against investing in public health I got this info from a site called theyworkforyou.com It’s clear you’re only working for yourself [Repeat Chorus] Bridge: You call each other honourable members Is that because there’s honour amongst thieves? Pretend you’ve got the interests of the electorate at heart But the nasty Party don’t represent me [Repeat Chorus]

An Anti-Tory Song
Two versions of the song are available: with swearing or without!
