Bonzo Dog Band — No Matter Who You Vote For The Government Always Gets In lyrics

Lyrics

Noises on the radio, megaphones on cars
Sermons from the street of shame, know-it-alls in bars
Posters in suburbia, experts on TV
Don’t let them disturb-i-ya
They’re just the powers that be Hey-Ho!
Don’t worry! Nobody can win! (Hey-Ho! Hey-Ho!)
No matter who you vote for, the government always gets in Hey-Ho!
Oh great, great slumbering nation
Awake! Set yourself free
Oh! Smell the comforting bacon, taste the bromide tea
And give a little chirrup as I ladle on the syrup
Promises are cheap
Let me bear your crosses, make me boss of bosses
Then you go back to sleep (Ha ha ha)
Hey-Ho!
Don’t worry! Pop your cross in the bin (Hey-Ho! Hey-Ho!)
No matter who you vote for, the government always gets in Hey-Ho!
Hey-Ho!
Hey-Ho!
Hey-Ho!
Memories of a finer place in comfortable Shangri-La
Then they too have their Shangri-Las
Shangri-La La La!
See them in the public eye oozing oily charm
Hear them all personify down on Animal Farm
Dog eat dog but cock and bull isms are the game
Hey-Ho!
No matter who you vote for, the government always gets in No matter who you vote for, the government always gets in.
No matter who you vote for, the government always gets in No matter who you vote for, the government always gets in.
Hey-Ho!
Don’t worry! Pop your cross in the bin (Hey-Ho! Hey-Ho!)
No matter who you vote for, the government always gets in.
Don’t worry! You know you can’t win! (Hey-Ho! Hey-Ho!)
No matter who you vote for, the government always gets in No matter who you vote for… FADE
