Straw Donkey

from Pervert Oven by Pagan Wanderer Lu

/

lyrics

Ladies and gentlemen... the book burners!
The robber barons of the global media
convinced a nation of slow readers
to elect a donkey in a straw hat

Like the one they bought in spain
where they had such a nice holiday
sorry what was the question again?
da da da etc

ain't no doubt it's plain to see
there's only two things wrong with democracy
one - the politicians
two - the people who elect them
and yes the education system's falling to bits
but dumbing down the press isn't gonna help it
no

Just like the kids on reality TV
He always knew it was his destiny
to represent his constituency
now he can buy himself a new hat

We now use the same duff information
when putting the choice to the nation
of politician or singing sensation
all the kids sing hallelujah

ain't no doubt it's plain to see
there's only two things wrong with democracy
one - the politicians
two - the people who elect them
and is this how we're making things more democratic
throw puckey at the wall and see what sticks?
oh

and for every old man who rants down the pub
and doesn't cite his sources
the riposte I endorse is
show me
yer bibliography
