about

Quite a literal tune inspired by an election in Quebec.
I am generally sceptical about politics, although I believe in participation.
So this is me participating.

lyrics

I was workin' for the man, hammering sign-posts.
Putting faces, putting names up in the air.
Bleached white smile, with a logo,
"We are the People, we fight for what you care"
If you all vote this time, folks,
I'll be the change you want,
I swear.
But no,
I wont buy it, I wont buy your shit no more
Cause i'm back,
From yonder side of that revolving door.
Sing low,
Down like the eskimos
Where words and notes dont make a song
and Im wrong, to call them such a name
we play the game, of politically correct,
Lifelong.
And the right, Its all just black and white,
the endless stacks of bills to pay
and the left,
so broken so bereft, we've got a plan,
but no man or woman to take the blame.
But no,
I wont buy it, I wont buy your shit no more,
cause Im back,
from yonder side of that revolving door.
