Did you notice that just recently in London town

The flags all waved

The people smiled a lot, the world was right

But now it seems that nothing's changed

My ears are ringing with the promise

The promise that they'll right the wrongs

And that they're ever gonna give you

Democracy, Democracy (you wanna bet?) 



We've been down this path a million times

And yet there seems no hope for us

These times are hard and yet the few do well

The rest can wallow in the dust

And if you're looking for the answers

You won't need a chrystal ball

'Cause they're not taking any chances on

Democracy, Democracy (not on you life) 



Don't tell me revolution changed a thing in France

'Cept for a king or two

'Cause when it's Bastile Day a toxic time bomb ticks

In the Pacific blue

'Cause revolution changes nothing

And voting changes even less

'Cause it's only time you are wasting on

Democracy, Democracy (there's none round here)
