Smiling Patient People

I went to vote, the queue ran down the street Strange to see the British change their ways None were holding phones nor were there bleeps Eager faces, animation sweet Well as it’s free we do not have to pay I went to vote, the queue ran down the street The staff were kind, the voters were no sheep They did not need a shepherd for this Play None were holding phones nor were there bleeps The politicians crippled by conceit Put fake websites on the net today I went to vote, the queue ran up the street I alas am old but I still sweat The stupidity of gossip is made clear No-one made a video of my seat I did not queue, a cripple may shed tears All I have is sight loss and burnt ears I went to vote, the queue stood with no light Smiling, patient people black and white
