Yeah yeah yeah yeah
You think your vote matters?
You think it matters?
Think again

Every few years
You're lining up
To mark your cross next to someone that you trust
You've listened hard
To what they've said
They seem legit on almost everything discussed
You're feeling good
About this now
It's really seeming like things are gonna change
Your hopes are up
You write it down
You put it in the slot and eagerly await the date

But your vote's a joke
If it changed anything they'd make it illegal
Yeah your vote's a joke
If it changed anything they'd confine it to history
Yeah your vote's a joke
If it changed anything they'd make it illegal
Yeah your vote's a joke
If it changed anything they'd ban it outright tonight

They're voted in
They make a speech
Something saying that they'll govern for everyone
That don't add up
With what they pledged
Cos making change means you've gotta cut out someone
Within a week
You see their change
The only change they're making is to everything they pledged
Everything's off
It was a con
They're doing the opposite on every issue they addressed

Cos your vote's a joke
If it changed anything they'd make it illegal
Yeah your vote's a joke
If it changed anything they'd confine it to history
Yeah your vote's a joke
If it changed anything they'd make it illegal
Yeah your vote's a joke
If it changed anything they'd ban it outright tonight

They've been paid up
They're paying back
Returning favours to everybody who shelled out
It's not their fault
They needed cash
Cos all the votes go to the one who paid the most amount
So what's the score?
How do things change?
How do we get them to keep the promises they make?
Take money out
To stop the rout
Cos til that happens we're doing it all again

Cos your vote's a joke
If it changed anything they'd make it illegal
Yeah your vote's a joke
If it changed anything they'd confine it to history
Yeah your vote's a joke
If it changed anything they'd make it illegal
Yeah your vote's a joke
If it changed anything they'd ban it outright tonight

Cos your vote's a joke
If it changed anything they'd make it illegal
Yeah your vote's a joke
If it changed anything they'd confine it to history
