Democracy?

Did you notice that just recently in London Town
The flags all waved
The people smiled a lot, the world was right
But now it seems that nothing's changed
My ears are ringing with the promise
The promise that they'll right the wrongs
And that they're ever gonna give you
Democracy, Democracy (you wanna bet?)

We've been down this path a million times
And yet there seems no hope for us
These times are hard and yet a few do well
The rest can wallow in their dust
And if you're looking for the answers
You won't need a crystal ball
'Cause they're not taking any chances on
Democracy, Democracy (not on you're life)

Don't tell me revolution changed a thing in France
'Cept a king or two
'Cause when it's Bastille Day a toxic time bomb ticks
In the Pacific blue
'Cause revolution changes nothing
And voting changes even less
'Cause it's only time you're wasting on
Democracy, Democracy (there's none round here)
