Britain Today

What Democracy Democracy, in Britain is nothing but a lie. From the dictionary the word should be deleted Whilst democracy’s the slogan that politicians cry The majority of us feel that we’ve been cheated With political correctness forced upon us every day Just in case the casual word may cause offence If you have a strong opinion be careful what you say Even though you may be talking perfect sense When we joined the E.E.U. I’m sure we took the view It would give a larger market for our trade Yet now our mighty nation has a legal obligation To abide by regulations Brussels made The referendum was denied, the politicians lied These decisions were decided by the few It was no doubt understood, M.Ps thought it would be good With a total disregarding of our view MP’s pull out all the stops to try to fill our shops With G.M foods that we don’t want to eat Whilst cameras check our speed on roads where there’s no need We’d be better off with coppers on the beat If when confronted by a crook you land a good right hook You may think that he deserved it, it’s his fault When he is on probation you’ll be locked up down the station To appear before a jury for assault When travellers leave a mess, you’d be spot on if you guess That authorities will turn an eye that’s blind Yet drop a *** end in the street and before it hits your feet You will get an instant ticket and be fined If asylums what you seek and English you can’t speak Benefits are paid for your welfare But if your British and your old, your property is sold To pay for any time you are in care If you chastise your child, because he has run wild That law will on your collar give a tug For no matter what you say, do-gooders rule the day Even though the child may grow into a thug In the interest of fair play referendums are the way The majority decide just where we go We shouldn’t change our laws or take part in futile wars To massage a political ego When we are due a big election, parties vie for our affection Promising the things they have in store It fair gives us the hump, they should take a running jump They must realise we’ve heard it all before. It is hard to understand who governs our fair land Or who it is that makes up all our rules Our politicians bore us, or totally ignore us Democracy in Britain! It’s for fools!!. .
