    Check out these fabulous recommendations!

    "I'd rather die in a ditch than buy this album! This is pure surrender, capitulation and humbug. Gorman clearly needs to man up!" - The Captain.

    "Really, really, traitorous stuff...complete covfefe…and I say that as the finest judge of musical talent in history...terrible, terrible guy." - The Future President of Greenland.

    For anyone following current events with their head in their hands this is your album. Follow the rise of the King of Lies from a back breaking life of wealth and privilege to election as Captain of our glorious Ship of Fools.

    I should add that if you do swag the download you won't want to miss the full glory of David MacKenzie's sparkling take on the cover art – so I’ve put mini versions here for you. Oh and there's even more Parental Advisory lyrical jocularity than usual so make sure to check with mummy and daddy that you’re old enough to listen.

about

We love to blame our politicians without accepting responsibility for creating the toxic atmosphere in which the worst of them prosper or accepting our responsibility for voting them in the first place. This has been turned into a weapon that allows a selfish ad complacent electorate to hate political peacemakers and identify with demagogues who portray themselves as victims. It's our fault too.

lyrics

Democracy

Democracy it’s just me and you
Choosing our favourites from the petting zoo
Glorious leaders at our beck and call
Democracy, no it’s not my fault
Democracy, democracy

Life’s too short to check out policies
Pick your favourite soundbite personality
Another slick TV celebrity
It’s not my responsibility
Democracy, democracy

Protesters march and scream and shout
They want them in then they want them out
Politician’s to blame not me and you
For doing what we told them to
Democracy, democracy

Democracy we demand that you act
On a flood of hatred and a trickle of facts
Democracy, it’s just you and me
Stirring up the bullshit in the land of the free
Democracy, democracy

Democracy, yes it’s the will of the people
We’re a shower of cunts and we’re voting for evil
Democracy, a little cross in a box
A hundred thousand chickens want to vote for the fox

Democracy!
