lyrics

Justify how this democracy seems so inclined
To define a way for power and authority to corrupt the most civilised of minds
As they overdose on energy…

Sacrifice now, a brand new part of your life so as
Just to become another piece of scrap paper that jams in the bureaucracy
As we overdose on apathy…

This is no doubt true madness – citizens pay for the white collar criminals
We need a brand new system – we need a culture revolution
Enforce the law with due process – convict the crooks who steal from the Treasury
We need a brand new system – we need a culture revolution

So how can you sleep every night, while the little girl is raped in the city streets?
Cost-overruns transferred into foreign bank accounts, with no transparency

“Because when I grow up, I’m gonna be…
…the biggest white collar criminal this country has ever seen!”

Maximum leadership is the song I sing
And its words are alive like the logo on the wing
Of a private jet - an all inclusive fete
For my campaign financers and their kids
Executives lined up to give me bribes
Contract bid-rigging - just close your eyes
Who’s going to be next financial bailout? – You can decide!

So justify how this democracy seems so inclined
To define a way for power and authority to corrupt the most civilised of minds
As they overdose on hypocrisy…

[Reggae/Dub Bridge – Instrumental Break]

This is no doubt true madness – citizens pay for the while collar criminals
We need a brand new system – we need a culture revolution
Enforce the law with due process – convict the crooks who steal from the Treasury
We need a brand new system – we need a culture revolution

I’m want to be the Honourable Crime -Minister
Of a failed country; of a failed state
