One dollar, one vote
Watch where the money goes
Even truth, in an age of deceit
Is impossible to believe
Because
Everything is inverted
Everything perverted
Everybody’s got something to hide
Everybody tells lies
Those who profess love the loudest
Practice hate the proudest
I’ll say it again
Those who profess love the loudest
Practice hate the proudest
One dollar, one vote
Watch where the money goes
No justice for Jesus
While all the diseases
Are too lucrative to cure
Too much to endure
Because a rich man’s war
Is a poor man’s fight
And there ain’t no cure
For this virus of the mind
What was said is unsaid
What’s implied is denied
Fact becomes opinion
Opinion becomes crime
To do or to die
Yet never wonder why?
One dollar, one vote
Watch where the money goes
Even truth, in an age of deceit
Is impossible to believe
But did we ever really have a voice?
Do we ever really have a choice?
When different masks on the same face
Dictate what to love and who to hate?
One dollar, one vote
One dollar, one vote
One dollar, one vote
Time to take back what we own

MRS MAC

VERSE 1
Plucked from the nest
Body scrubbed bare
Led gently down the narrow stairs
The grinding of teeth
Scraping of feet
Pulling hard against the empty streets
But here will be learned the lessons of life
Feels like something is dying
Father waves goodbye
I just wanna run home to cry
Tiny I shrink, huge they grow
Ugly kids in duffle coats
Plimsolls made from tar and rope
Mouths washed out with carbolic soap
CHORUS
Mrs Mac, Mrs Mac
Answer back and you’ll get more than a whack
VERSE 2
In my shorts, on my knees
Swallowing liver, kidneys and greens
Tears fall onto my plate
Mrs Mac’s boot is in my face
Stocky, short-tempered and mean
She’s a fierce, fucking fighting machine
She’ll fuck you up, she’ll grind you down
It’ll cost you a fortune to figure it out
CHORUS
Mrs Mac, Mrs Mac, Mrs Mac, Mrs Mac
Mrs Mac, Mrs Mac, Mrs Mac, Mrs Mac

THE THE England, UK
THE THE was formed in 1979 by Matt Johnson. His genre is all his own: it is music of long shadows, high hopes, channeled anger, feverish passions and sweetly disturbing poignancy. It is pop and rock, blues and folk, soul and polemic. It spans alienated electronics to twisted cinematic soundtracks, guitar tumbling swing to crimson ballads, rants and prayers to diaries and hymns. ... more
