Get the party into gear, you tell us what we want to hear
You gonna take us all for a spin
You say you have a clever plan, you want to help the common man
But it's just a trick to get you in

You have lots of rhetoric, you make it all sound so slick
But all designed to make us take the bait
You promise this and you promise that, you give it all the smiley chat
But you just want a license to dictate

Well can't you see? This ain't democracy
This ain't democracy, that we see, that we see
It don't please me! It's just autocracy
It's just hypocrisy, that it be, that it be, that it be

You say the other lot have got it wrong, but you just want us all to sing along
So out come the carrots and the bribes on cue
You talk the talk, you sway the sway, but underneath it's all just cabaret
To try and get us all to subscribe to you

Well can't you see? This ain't democracy
This ain't democracy, that we see, that we see
It don't fool me! It's just autocracy
It's just hypocrisy, that it be, that it be, that it be

Cutting edge it may have been, in the year 1215
But we don't ride around on horses anymore
It’s time to bring things up to date, it’s time for us to appreciate
Our political system is a dinosaur

The House of Commons is so old, it’s growing just a little mould
This archaic system is no good for us
The people must decide the way, and everyone must have a say
Let’s get it done without the fuss

Well can't you see, this would be democracy
Be true democracy, it would be, it would be
That would suit me, let’s have no autocracy
Let’s have no autocracy, is the key, is the key

It’s time to see, some real democracy
Some true democracy, let it be, let it be
Let’s all agree, let’s vote on policy
Let’s vote on policy, set us free, set us free, set us free
