~Pattern 1~
E Asus2
When one voice rules the nation
E Asus2
Just because they're top of the pile
E Asus2 Bsus4/A E Asus2 E Bsus4/A
Doesn't mean their vision is the clearest
~Pattern 2~

The voices of the people

Are falling on deaf ears
E Asus2 Bsus4/A E Asus2 E (E|-0-0-2-0-4-0-)
Our politicians all become careerists
~Pattern 3~
A
They must declare their interests
E
But not their company cars
E C#m
Is there more to a seat in the Parliament
F#m B
Than sitting on your arse
~Pattern 1~
And the best of all this bad bunch
Are shouting to be heard
Above the sound of ideologies clashing
~Pattern 1~
Outside the patient millions
Who put them into power
Expect a little more back for their taxes
~Pattern 2~
Like schools books, beds in hospitals
And peace in our bloody time
All they get is old men grinding axes
~Pattern 3~
Who've built their private fortunes
On the things they can rely
The courts, the secret handshake
The Stock Exchange and the old school tie
~Pattern 1~
For God and Queen and Country
All things they justify
Above the sound of ideologies clashing
~Pattern 2~ (instrumental)
~Pattern 3~
God bless the Civil Service
The nations saving grace
While we expect democracy
They're laughing in our face
~Pattern 1~
And although our cries get louder
Their laughter gets louder still
Above the sound of ideologies clashing
E Asus2 Bsus4/A
Above the sound of ideologies,
E Asus2 Bsus4/A
Above the sound of ideologies,
E Asus2 Bsus4/A C#m Asus2 (A|-0-) E(let ring)
Above the sound of ideologies clashing
