Guy Fawkes
by Richard McGill
In the UK and many other places we vote putting into power a team to administer the country
We despair at the pointless-ness of current politics and how they’re all the same?
A cross upon the ballot slip
choices made but what the fuck
They promise me to lower tax
reduce waste and reduce cost
They’re all just the same thing
why do I vote for all this bullshit crap?
Labour should stop staff abuse
and lift the poor from squalid lives
Save workers being crapped upon
and provide health and social care
But a party formed from working class
has now been hijacked by champagne toffs
The only man to enter Parliament
with noble intentions
Bring back Guy Fawkes
and blow them all sky high
Tories should be on our side
slimming state to just what’s right
Freedom from the pointless rules
liberated businesses rule
The end result is always worse
and just more jobs made for their crony mates
Lib-Dems should be voice of reason
happy place where all is even
Middle ground where all is well
should be a vision easy to sell
But bland not what we voters want
they lack the viral social media rant
The only man to enter Parliament
with noble intentions
Bring back Guy Fawkes
and blow them all sky high
Green should be for all our children
reverse crap shat on our planet
Make a land with peaceful folks
with harmony ‘tween us and nature
But not the deluded ways we see
from dictator folk voted to lead
The only man to enter Parliament
with noble intentions
Bring back Guy Fawkes
and blow them all sky high
Reform should be the perfect storm
to rid us of our binding law
Seductive call to start again
and rid our land of immigrants
But sadly all they have to offer
are bullshit soundbites to make us vote
The only man to enter Parliament
with noble intentions
Bring back Guy Fawkes
and blow them all sky high
Every day MPs make laws
in good faith to make safe and fair
But the police can’t even cope
with burglaries and mugging crime
With nothing more than a reference number
to help with an insurance claim
The only man to enter Parliament
with noble intentions
Bring back Guy Fawkes
and blow them all sky high
Since Thatcher won by bribing us
with pennies back for services lost
Each election won from promised wealth
by lower taxes without a cost
But less money is less to give
for everything we need to help us live
The only man to enter Parliament
with noble intentions
Bring back Guy Fawkes
and blow them all sky high
A cross upon the ballot slip
choices made but what the fuck
They promise me to lower tax
reduce waste and reduce cost
They’re all just the same thing
why do I vote for all this bullshit crap?
