Placebo - Voting Doesn't Work lyrics

Voting doesn't work, 1-2-3 It's time you know your enemy I won't pledge allegiance to hypocrisy Your democracy, is not for me So when we try to change this place Courtroom pulls an about face Fantasies of the master race Our elections they erase See once upon a time we were all free When we lived in tribal societies Peace, peace and harmony And everything for the good of family Yeah cancer people can't smoke weed People voted to be free But the facist rule decree Pigs arresting you and me (chorus) Voting doesn't work. why? When they don't like what we say, then they stop it in the courts Voting doesn't work. why? When they don't like what we say, then they stop it in the courts Voting doesn't work. why?

When they don't like what we say, then they stop it in the courts Voting doesn't work I have seen Along with piles of broken treaties Your reality produces poverty, spiritually in a nation of greed Well, who is working, who is not Think votes count, well I think not Doesn't matter what we say Things will always go their way Power to the people is just a fantasy And they sell to us as an american dream Power to the people is just a fantasy And they sell to us as an american dream Well your vote counts 1-2-3 Living in democracy Everybody here is free 'Cause it's built for you and it's built for me Voting doesn't work, why When they don't like what we say they stop it in the courts Voting doesn't work, why When they don't like what we say they stop it in the courts Voting doesn't work, why When they don't like what we say they stop it in the courts Voting doesn't work, why When they don't like what we say they stop it in the courts
