about

I've been watching a lot of political content in the last few weeks, so you can definitely tell where the inspiration came from here. The world's fucked on multiple fronts, and it's all pretty depressing, even this topic of abstract justice in the political realm could have books upon books written about it. A few verses hardly do it justice.
I suppose you could say this video was the most direct inspiration, as it's the last one I watched before writing this song: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHFOwlMCdto

lyrics

How is your will represented?
Is your vote equally weighted?
Should it be this way?
Are you sure that everything's okay?

What do the candidates really think?
Do they convey it when they speak?
Is it refelected in their actions?
Or should we look at their transactions?

Are they the voice of the masses?
Or only of high classes?
Do their actions match their words?
Or is that patently absurd?

Does democracy even work?
Or is it all a great big joke?
We pretend it's not the same
That we're not pawns in their game.

But the people are alone
With the issues we bemoan.
A just world is just a dream
That's the secret, it would seem.
