Not Responsible

The power depends on the people’s will They were taught to believe this at high school But as practice has shown, powers like to kill And the people are forced to obey under rule So the contract between the people and power Looks a bit stretched cause it was preset Do I need a law how to water my flower? My goodwill’s stipulated without my consent? And now you self appointed judges get loud Condemning me for the war in your garden But you've got the wrong address, dear crowd Type the proper number of your chosen warden Am I not responsible for lunar eclipses yet? Mustn’t I write an explanatory note On three A 4 sheets of paper, so that Could be cheerfully taken as my absent vote.
