Mr Politician (Live at City of London Polytechnic) - Angelic Upstarts

Written by：R Cowie/T Mensforth

Mr Politician sitting on your perch

Looking at the numbers

Thinking what we're worth

You're price is your conscience when though is allowed

So put your finger infidel

We're only good

When we're down

What can we say what suspense

From the wings of democracy they say is right

So we can go forth with hand in hand

Listen to our betters make dead a man

Don't forget where you've came from

Down at the bottom where you belong

Would it do

Any good

If I voted for a leech

May

The leech

Would practice what he preached

They don't give a f**k

They don't give a toss

I could vote for a pig

It won't be no loss

Mr Politician sitting on your perch

Looking at the numbers

Thinking what we're worth

You're price is your conscience when though is allowed

So put your finger infidel

We're only good

When we're down

Mr Politician

Mr Politician

Mr Politician

Practice what you preach

Practice what you preach
