Voting Doesn't Work

Voting doesn't work, 1-2-3

It's time you know your enemy

I won't pledge allegiance to hypocrisy

Your democracy, is not for me

So when we try to change this place

Courtroom pulls an about face

Fantasies of the master race

Our elections they erase

See once upon a time we were all free

When we lived in tribal societies

Peace, peace and harmony

And everything for the good of family

Yeah cancer people can't smoke weed

People voted to be free

But the facist rule decree

Pigs arresting you and me

(chorus)

Voting doesn't work. why?

When they don't like what we say, then they stop it in the courts

Voting doesn't work. why?

When they don't like what we say, then they stop it in the courts

Voting doesn't work. why?

When they don't like what we say, then they stop it in the courts

Voting doesn't work. why?

When they don't like what we say, then they stop it in the courts

President this, president that

Represent the ruling class

One says this (this) one says that (that)

Sounds the same, what choice is that

See, voting doesn't work 1-2-3

Coming from the nation of the Cherokee

How can you choose when you don't have a choice

How can you choose when you don't have a voice

Yeah, interest games, their interest rates

Secret power fueled by hate (hate)

Fear for cash

Cash for fear

Greenspan is the ruler here

Yeah, a pig is a pig

And they took it away

And I don't give a fuck about the things they say

It don't mean shit to me

Voting doesn't work it's easy to see that

Voting doesn't work. why?

When they don't like what we say, then they stop it in the courts

Voting doesn't work. why?

When they don't like what we say, then they stop it in the courts

Voting doesn't work. why?

When they don't like what we say, then they stop it in the courts

Voting doesn't work. why?

When they don't like what we say, then they stop it in the courts

Voting doesn't work I have seen

Along with piles of broken treaties

Your reality produces poverty, spiritually in a nation of greed

Well, who is working, who is not

Think votes count, well I think not

Doesn't matter what we say

Things will always go their way

Power to the people is just a fantasy

And they sell to us as an american dream

Power to the people is just a fantasy

And they sell to us as an american dream

Well your vote counts 1-2-3

Living in democracy

Everybody here is free

'Cause it's built for you and it's built for me

Voting doesn't work, why

When they don't like what we say they stop it in the courts

Voting doesn't work, why

When they don't like what we say they stop it in the courts

Voting doesn't work, why

When they don't like what we say they stop it in the courts

Voting doesn't work, why

When they don't like what we say they stop it in the courts
