We've endured them on our TV screens lying to us all
I have voted till I realised that my franchise doesn't count
Gathered up and analysed the issues they discount
They have promised with their fingers crossed, things they can't deliver
Totally misjudged the cost while the cost kept getting bigger
They have handled with incompetence criminality and health
Will sell off the preponderance of the nation's wealth
So much money spent on make-up to hide their little flaws
A tab that we will have to take up in their cosmetic cause
It's like a scene from Nero's Rome or eighteenth century France
Aristocrats in all but throne, Dukes of arrogance
You have heard their overtures to peace and the role of the UN
But when war came to the Middle-East, they weren't so certain then
When the coalition forces used the diplomacy of the canon
And the US air force was let abuse the hospitality of Shannon
Is there nothing they can do to stop the rising cost of living?
Or must we trawl through every shop to find where value's given
Bills are getting higher too, the price of power is shocking
A price that's paid by you and me to stop this boat from rocking
Once upon an insurrection a poet dared to praise
Those who needed no election to change our timid ways
Though lawlessly they showed us how to write our history books
That terrible beauty's ninety now and she's lost her looks
