Take It Back

I voted for someone I don't like
To stop someone worse getting in,
But that bugger got in regardless
And wasting my vote was a sin

Take back, take back, let's take back our suffrage today, today!
Take back, take back, let's take back our suffrage today!

Now parliament's hung as expected,
But all of us are wond'ring why,
Since MPs are doing a stitchup
While voters are hung out to dry

Take back, take back, let's take back our suffrage today, today!
Take back, take back, let's take back our suffrage today!

If I vote for some smaller party
and millions vote for that one too
there still might be no-one elected,
so what are we all going to do?

Take back, take back, let's take back our suffrage today, today!
Take back, take back, let's take back our suffrage today!
