INTRO
Have you ever wondered
Why I sound just like my deputy?
Does he seem redundant,
Or do I? (Oh baby)
Step into the booth,
Look down and face the truth:
A vote for me’s the same as a vote for any of us guys
(Any of us guys)
It’s sweeter when we all agree
A party political harmony
Lose your voting inhibitions
Join the one true coalition (coalition)
He’ll fire all your docs and nurses
He’ll clamp down on public service
He sold the railways to companies,
And we all agree on tuition fees!
Let’s sell off the parts of this broken nation,
Let’s shut the door on immigration
And if a few companies don’t pay tax, (tax!)
Let’s not grumble, what’s the harm in that?
(there’s no harm, baby!)
Austerity!
Austerity!
Austerity!
Let’s get rid of foreigners!
What he means is...
Let’s frack this green and pleasant land,
Come on Eddie, join the band.
The public won’t know what to do,
If they have to pick from me and youuuuuuu!
The choice between us couldn’t be clearer,
Oxford! Cambridge! Diversity for ya,
Whether it’s Trident or High Speed Two,
The lesser of four evils is up to you.
(I looove the coalition!)
It’s sweeter when we all agree
A party political harmony (vote for me!)
Make the tactical decision
Join the one true coalition (coalition)
It’s sweeter when we all agree
A party political harmony
Make the tactical decision
Join the one true coalition
Like it? It’s been number one for about two hundred years. But all over the country, people are standing up to change the tune. Voting true, not tactical.
We believe in the people controlling politics, not the other way round.
We believe that the public should own public services.
We believe that the country’s wealth belongs to the whole country, not a privileged few. And we believe the if the planet belongs to us all, it’s worth taking better care of.
And this election, we’re in the strongest place we’ve even been to fight Austerity, return the railways and the NHS to public hands, scrap tuition fees and provide decent homes for everyone.
So vote Green on the 7th of May. For the common good.
