Jamie Lenman - A Plague On Both Your Houses

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 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 dammit 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, cos 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 d'you all look so taken aback?

Don't tell me that you really
Expected anything more from this contemptible core
Who get rich by keeping us poor? When you

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, cos I don't. A plague on both!

Poll night left or right? A fake fight. By my oath, a plague on both your houses!
