Snap Goes Our Election

Snap goes our election,
Snap, crackle and then a pop.
Snap goes our election,
Seemingly without stop.

Thump goes our majority,
Thump the table hard.
Thump goes our majority,
Thanks to Mastercard.

Oh to be in England,
Oh to be in Wales.
Oh to be in Scotland,
Oh, poor Ireland quails.

Publish your manifesto,
Print, promise and predict.
Publish your manifesto,
Prepare for deficit.

Take back control they said,
Tell everyone you see.
Take back control they said,
Take what you’d like for free.

Hollow out your promises,
Hollow from what we see.
Hollow out your promises,
How shakes that money tree?

Every vote’s important,
Even yours and mine.
Every vote’s important,
Even more than that last time.

Tell us all a story,
Try us once again.
Tell us all a story,
To help us sooth the pain.

Over, under, back and forth
Our electorate has moved.
Over, under, back and forth
Our democracy improved?

Radical or Establishment,
Rich, poor, young or old.
Radical or Establishment
Rely on what we’re told.

Idealistic or a realist,
It’s difficult to say.
Idealistic or a realist,
It depends how much they pay.

Everyone for Everyone,
Every soundbites counts.
Everyone for Everyone,
Election fever mounts.
