The Politician's Song

When I was young,
I thought that it could all be done,
Make a just world for everyone,
Those days are gone.
Spend more money
On the Health Service, people say,
But when you ask them who should pay,
They go away.

Don't put up tax, that's all they ever say,
Don't put up tax anymore.
Don't put up tax, that's all they ever say,
Don't put up tax anymore.

People complain about the unjust student loan,
When I ask what else should be done,
Nobody's home.

Don't put up tax, that's all they ever say,
Don't put up tax anymore.
Don't put up tax, that's all they ever say,
Don't put up tax anymore.
