You put your right arm in,
Your right arm out,
In out, in out what’s it all about?
You listen to the promises
The warnings and the lies,
Figures and statistics
Swim before your eyes.
Politicians’ promises are puffs of empty air.
Statistics can prove anything
You really must take care.
You put your left arm in,
Your left arm out,
In out, in out you’d better work it out.
Although you find it hard to choose
Although there is some doubt,
Now, really there’s so much to lose.
For at some future date
Our politicians will complain
The public are the ones to blame,
And now the only option
Is put taxes up again.
Reduce or cut our benefits
Let the culprits take the strain.
Put the ballot paper in,
Take the ballot paper out,
In out, in out, it’s what it’s all about.
You really cannot get it right
No matter what you do,
There’s bound to be a shake up now
And it’s all up to you.
