"John", I said, "Put me some three minute punk down!", I said.
"Alrighty!", he said.
It´s punk Jim but not as we know it. Or as we do know it. It´s punk anyway. John did the music and I did the lyrics and voices. If you´re feeling delicate you may want to listen at another time. Good luck everyone.
https://soundcloud.com/martynrich/ballot-box-bluesBallot Box BluesHow do you dare to think you have the right
To take away everything that´s mine
You sit there and you sound the same
Always speaking like you know my name
But you´ve never been through my record collection
And now I´m drowning in stupefaction
I wonder, I wonder
I wonder if you´re still alive
You´re selling me a second-hand car
When I never learned to drive
Do you remember the party they had
When Ceaușescu took his dive?
1-2-3 will you vote for me?
We´re gonna give you some anarchy!
Ballot Box Blues
However you vote you lose
Ballot Box Blues
There´s nothing left to choose
1-2-3 will you vote for me
We´re gonna give you some anarchy!
Eton boys and girls were born with a silver spoon
While the socialists locked themselves in a room
They listened in on each other´s games
That´s how they learned to avoid the blame
But I´ve never been through their library
Because the top shelf is full of sycophancy
I wonder, I wonder
I wonder why you´re still around
It´s a cultural immortality
Based on delusion and fallacy
You´re approving my medical assessment
Whilst suffering from arrested development
1-2-3 will you vote for me?
We´re gonna give you some anarchy!
Ballot Box Blues
However you vote you lose
Ballot Box Blues
There´s nothing left to choose
1-2-3 will you vote for me
We´re gonna give you some anarchy!
