One, Two, Three, What are You Voting For?
(To the tune of: Country Joe Mcdonald’s {1965?} ‘The Fish Cheer’
or ‘One, Two, Three, What Are We Fighting For?’)
Ch.
One, two, three,
What are we voting for?
Don’t ask me, it don’t mean a damn.
They’re all owned by the banks.
And it’s five, six, seven,
Open up the voting booth.
Makes no difference where you put your cross,
Their gain is always our loss.
V1
Listen folks, I can save you some time,
As we head towards election time.
It may well be that you’re secretly banned
If you’re yeller, black or Mexican.
Your right to vote might not be the same
Unless you’ve got a pure Caucasian name.
Ch
And it’s one, two, three…
V2
So, come on voters across the land,
Read those pledges drawn in the sand,
Substance be damned, it’s the image you need,
It’s what we call democracy.
It makes no difference if you tick a box,
Either way your gonna be f*cked
Ch
And it’s one, two three…
