Democracy Lyrics by Killing Joke

Democracy

1996

You have a choice, we are your voice
Red, blue or yellow
We will ridicule the green
Another five lane motorway
You'll never even get a referendum anyway
Funny handshakes, insider dealings
Et in Arcadia, Arcadia ego
Backhanders and salamanders
A powerhouse that is morally Mechula

Sorry, democracy is changing
Sorry, democracy is changing

I'm not a slogan or a badge
Or a cross in the ballot box
Neither values or objectives
You do not represent my deepest thoughts and wishes
Education in obsolete skills
Stereotyping and media projection
Industrial psychologists
Plan a campaign that is financed by big business

Sorry, democracy is changing
Sorry, democracy is changing
Sorry, democracy is changing
Sorry, democracy is changing

You have a choice, we are your voice
Red, blue or yellow
We will ridicule the green
Another five lane motorway
You'll never even get a referendum anyway

Sorry, democracy is changing
Sorry, democracy is changing
I'm sorry, democracy is changing
I'm sorry, democracy is changing
