Chorus: Here we go it’s time for an election
Come on now, you get you chance to vote
The politicians tell you all the things they’re going to do
But hey, hey, hey – how much of it is true?
When people get so cynical, it’s hardly a surprise
We’re sick of broken promises, we’re fed up with the lies
If we could really trust someone to do just what they say
We might feel more inclined to go and vote on Polling Day
Here we go it’s time for an election
Come on now, you get you chance to vote
The politicians tell you all the things they’re going to do
But hey, hey, hey – how much of it is true?
The party hacks all have a script and they all toe the line
But if someone just spoke from the heart, for me that would be fine
I want to be inspired by someone that I can trust
But it seems as if for most of them, the truth is dangerous
Here we go it’s time for an election
Come on now, you get you chance to vote
The politicians tell you all the things they’re going to do
But hey, hey, hey – how much of it is true?
Perhaps it needs a new party to promise everything
A different kind of manifesto – one that you can sing
We’ve heard it all before but never laid out in a tune
Let’s have a new clown on the scene so you can hear him croon
Here we go it’s time for an election
Come on now, you get you chance to vote
The politicians tell you all the things they’re going to do
But hey, hey, hey – how much of it is true?
Here we go it’s time for an election
Come on now, you get you chance to vote
The politicians tell you all the things they’re going to do
But hey, hey, hey – how much of it is true?
