A Plague on Both Your Houses Songtext

von Jamie Lenman

Everybody, it's time to choose
Are you gunning for the reds or the blues?
In the end, it is the same old news
The one race that we will always lose
They make promises designed to please
But with their hands on the Number Ten keys
They take it all back
God damn it, who needs enemies with MPs like these?
They don't represent me and you
These idiots don't have a clue
Even if they started out strong and true
Those qualities don't make it through
Smug liars, seat buyers
This whole method is wrong
This whole sham is a song
And every ballot day we all sing along
Yes, you
If you put your tick in the box, you're saying
"I believe that these people will tell the truth, not deceive
That this system, it works and deserves my vote"
Well, I can't, 'cause I don't
A plague on both
I thought it was a well-known fact
How these degenerates act
Spending our money on maids and crack
Why you all look so taken aback?
Don't tell me that you really expected more
From this contemptible core
Who get rich by keeping us poor?
When you put your tick in the box, you're saying
"I believe that these people will tell the truth, not deceive
That this system, it works and deserves my vote"
Well, I can't, 'cause I don't
A plague on both
Poll night, left or right?
A fake fight
By my oath, a plague on both your houses
