Oh the bright young man in the tight-buttoned suit

the light beams out from capped smiles to the shines

on their lick-spittle books

Oh these sharp young sparks with their fresh rosettes

Yeh, the artful ways that they promise the earth

to all suffragettes -

What they won't promise we don't know yet.

They say they're build - and shaping society

but we know they're just saving for their own

Safe home in politics

Anything goes: look at them run.



Come from every side, noses Pinocchio clean;

Lock in synchromesh, oil the wheels and the gears

of the party machine.

And the final goal is a cabinet seat...

in the trappings of power, the presumption to speak

for the man in the street.

Once they move in, they're in for good;

Yeh, once they get that bed made it's a

safe home in politics.

Jobs for the boys: look at them run.



There's just one thing none of us should forget:

a political man is just in it for the power

and the smell of sucess.

Sure, some start out as idealists -

pretty soon they all cop for ideal careers and

a safe home in politics,

a cusky job in politics;

look at them run.



The politicians fight it out on the couning tower

but they all agree not to rock the boat.

A safe home in politics

It's built on your vote
