Oh why oh why Am I clinging to a hope Well I sat in disbelief As all I once believed Was good in this land of mine Was fading out of sight All to the far right All seem content with living blind Oh why oh why Am I clinging to a hope Oh why oh why Am I clinging to a hope Well the news is full of sound bites For the simple mind While the others are losing their will Some to fear, some to fatigue We're like lambs laying down for the kill Oh why oh why Am I clinging to a hope Oh why oh why Am I clinging to a hope Oh the rich will be fine When it comes the time That its all tumbling down The enemies of hope They've got us on the ropes And their leaving nothing but doubt Their sitting on their hands While we're going down the pan Their watching the clocks run out While we're all getting poorer Walking through the door That says this is the only way out Oh why Oh why oh why Am I clinging to a hope For another vote in my time Oh why oh why Am I clinging to a hope For another vote in my time Oh why oh why Am I clinging to a hope
