lyrics

Democracy

Democracy, democracy
The blessing of the West 'cos the West knows best
Democracy, democracy
The neo-liberal fantasy

And if there' s an ideological clash then we'll have a bash to make them do
What we want, cos we know we're right , we can win this fight and the future's bright

Democracy, democracy
From the land of the free to you and me
Democracy, democracy
Set the global markets free.

You can rise up against your oppressive regimes
And we'll send in tanks and submarines
To help - if we can make a profit or two,
But if not we'll leave it up to you...

Democracy, democracy
A corporate ideology
Is meant to make us all feel free -
Why is it that we disagree?

Consumer choice is just a lie
We buy and sell as the forests die
Monetary or military - these systems cannot set us free
Corruption rules in every state
Elections fuel fear and hate...

Democracy, democracy
The blessing of the West 'cos the West knows best
Democracy, democracy
The neo-liberal fantasy

Democracy, democracy,
From the land of the free to you and me
Democracy, democracy
Not to be confused with - Liberty.
