\nDemocracy’s the best that you can get
\nThat’s not the same as saying that it’s good
\nIn power the opposition will forget
\nTo do the things they promised that they would<\/p>\n
“No tax increases ever on our watch”
\nTranslates as raising every tax in sight
\nThey’ll slap a bit on every sip of scotch
\nWhile friends of theirs find rises rather slight<\/p>\n
Or start a war they cannot justify
\nThe evidence is secret anyway
\nIt doesn’t really matter if they lie
\nWith luck we won’t remember what they say<\/p>\n
The only thing I’ll say is that I’m sure
\nWithout a vote they’d cheat us even more!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
