Lyrics The Clashing of Ideologies (Alternate Version) - Billy Bragg
When
one
voice
rules
the
nation,
Just
because
she's
top
of
the
pile,
Doesn't
mean
her
vision
is
the
clearest.
And
the
voices
of
the
people,
Are
falling
on
deaf
ears,
Our
politicians
all
become
careerists.
They
must
declare
their
interests,
But
not
their
company
cars.
Is
there
more
to
a
seat
in
parliament,
Than
sitting
on
your
arse?
And
the
best
of
all
this
bad
bunch,
Is
shouting
to
be
heard,
Above
the
sound
of
ideology
crashing.
Whisper
up
in
Whitehall,
Must
not
be
spoke
aloud,
The
offender
faces
jail
or
resignation.
And
another
dose
of
welfare
cuts
Is
passed
without
a
word,
From
those
who
claim
to
represent
The
centre
of
this
nation.
All
these
men
and
women,
Elected
for
their
high
ideals.
While
we
just
pay
our
taxes,
They
pay
lip
service
when
it
feels.
And
the
voices
of
the
millions,
And
the
hopes
of
a
whole
lot
more,
Are
lost
above
the
sound
Of
ideology
crashing.
Are
lost
above
the
sound
of
ideology,
Above
the
sound
of
ideology,
Above
the
sound
of
ideology
crashing.
