Come down from the Hill
Come Down from the Hill
Come down from the hill and speak to us
you will find us in a queue waiting for a bus
We see you from afar with money to spend
when we don't even have enough to lend
We voted you into power to speak for us
but the whole process seems quite useless
Once in power you enjoy expenses and wealth
often this is obtained through corruption and stealth
You claim to be one of us and champion our cause
philanthropists to the very core
In reality you feather your own nest
and we become the forgotten rest
Come down from the hill
and speak our language and listen to the words we tell
We no longer trust you to express our will
because you are sitting comfortable on the hill

Ah...politics was ever thus.
