the clashing of ideologies

when one voice rules the nation

just because she's top of the pile

doesn't mean her vision is the clearest

and the voices of the people

are falling on deaf ears

our politicians all become careerists

they must declare their interests

but not their company cars

is there more to a seat in parliament

than sitting on your arse?

and the best of all this bad bunch

is shouting to be heard

above the sound of ideology crashing

whisper up in whitehall

must not be spoke aloud

the offender faces jail or resignation

and another dose of welfare cuts

is passed without a word

from those who claim to represent

the centre of this nation

all these men and women

elected for their high ideals

while we just pay our taxes

they pay lip service when it feels

and the voices of the millions

and the hopes of a whole lot more

are lost above the sound

of ideology crashing

are lost above the sound of ideology

above the sound of ideology

above the sound of ideology crashing
