lyrics

You're my favourite politician
If it weren't for you I wouldn't be me
If it weren't for you I wouldn't be free
to sing this song in the clouds
with wings on my back to my Muttie below
crying for her son who went to your war
If it weren't for you
I wouldn't be at all
If it weren't for you
I wouldn't be at all

You're my dream politician
You did the good things,
you did the bold things
You took the brave decisions
Now I'm on a beach in another green world
left my Mother on Earth to hide from the drones
that target the heat from her heart
the whites of her eyes remain
unseen
seeing into the life of
things
seeing into the light of...

And it's an empty glass toast
Empty
Glass toast
Empty
Glass toast

Do you trust your politicians
Are they the voice you wanted
the fight you need
to take down the enemies of our dream
to perish under one law, one god,
one tongue, one brain no mind and terror for all
if it weren't for them
we'd having a ball
if it weren't for them
we'd having a ball
if it weren't for them...

And it's an empty glass toast
Empty
Glass toast
Empty
Glass toast
