Chumbawamba

Chumbawamba were a British alternative music band that had, over a career spanning three decades, played anarcho-punk, pop-influenced music, world music, and folk music. The band's anarchist politics exhibit an irreverent attitude toward authority, and the band has been forthright in its stances on issues including animal rights, pacifism (early in their career) and later regarding class struggle, feminism, gay liberation, pop culture and anti-fascism. more »

Welcome to Never Mind The Ballots. 
The phone lines are now open.
If you'd like to put a question to the candidates
The number to ring is oh five three two seven seven nine six four three 
You want jobs? I've got jobs! 
Hospitals? Top of my list! 
Tax cuts and platform shoes 
For every small businessman 
Just give me your vote 
Just give me your vote 
Schools, prisons? Of course we'll build them! 
Condoms for the American GIs! 
Nuclear reactors breed like rabbits 
Police oppression? You can have it, sir! 
Just give me your vote 
Put your cross in the box 

Hello, we've got our first caller.
You're name's Martin. Hello Martin.
You listened to our stated policy.
Well Martin to tell you the truth I couldn't agree with you more.
It's outrageous, disgusting.
But unlike my colleague on my right, we're the party who say what we do, do what we say.
You can bank on us Martin. 

Good evening, Shirley. I'm so glad that you've rung.
The matter is as dear to me as it is to you.
Give me four years and I'll get right down to it.
Because unlike my little balding colleague on my left, we don't make promises we can't keep. 
You still there, Martin? Good, just one more thing. Give us your vote 
You want houses? See me afterwards 
Want my autograph? See my bodyguard 
Pre-election budget handouts 
You want a war? No problem! 
Just give me your vote 
Just give me your vote
