R.I.P democracy
You’ve been boom boom by human machine
You’ve been bang bang now it’s all penitentiary
Rest in pieces our dear Benazir
Better 6ft under with what’s goin’ on here
You’ve been boom boom by an old kind of coward
And you’ve been bang bang by a new kind of power

R.I.P democracy
for a moment we weren’t just uncovered meat
- or wrapped up meat -
whichever way you want me

R.I.P democracy
For a moment we had hopes and dreams
I knew it would be swept from under ya feet

I saw ‘em pullin’ threads and tyin’ ‘em
To the truck and spyin’, then
Startin’ up the motor, then
Leave ya in the gutter with a piece of ‘im
And all this pointless sufferin’
I’ve had a gutful of this masculine trend

Rest in pieces our dear Benazir
You’re best 6ft under with what’s goin’ on here
