D 
G 
When
D 
G 
one voice rules the nation,

careerists.

The centre of this na tion.
D

Verse 4
All these men and women,
Bm 
Elected for their high ideals.
D 
Bm 
While we just pay our taxes,

A 
They pay lip service when it feels.

And the hopes of a whole lot more,
D 
Are lost above the sound
G 
A 
D 
G 
Of ideology crashing.
