Mind your PMQs [censored]

about

This is a song about modern politics and journalism. It is *not* targeted at any specific politician or party. There are good and bad people everywhere. We should be working together, trying to find common ground and not slagging each other off the whole time.

lyrics

This is little better
Than a playground argument
I find it hard to tolerate
Your willful insolence
Bluff bluff bluster
Ad hominem
Straw man straw man
Ad hominem again
---
Scaremonger, warmonger
Others are to blame
Exaggerate our differences
Shoot them down in flames

And I can't believe
This is how we get things done
Starting to feel
That you're stringing us all along

Turn a profit line your pockets
The little guy's at fault
Cherry pick your data points
Sell the ******** short
Use other people's weaknesses
To undermine their claims
Rig the rules, damn the fools
Everyone'd do the same
---
Oversimplifying
Turning up the sound
Pick a side pick a side
Refuse the common ground

And I can't believe
This is how we get things done
Starting to feel
That you're stringing us all along

Greed will be our ruin
Pride will kill us all
Hatred our undoing
Ever as it was
Greed will be our ruin
Pride will **** us all
Can't stop this hatred brewing
Are we headed for a fall?
It's simply not worth the fight
If what you're fighting for
Isn't love, kindness, bravery
Not evening the score

And I can't believe
This is how we get things done
Starting to feel
That you're stringing us all along
No I can't believe
This is how we get things done
Starting to feel
That you're stringing us all along
