Vote Brand X |
| Here’s the modern political man, for sure he’s nobody’s fool |
| Believes in media coverage as a promotional tool |
| Trust in him because he’s got the right face; |
| Just in case you harbour doubt |
| Here is a slogan to tout |
| He’s such a principled man, all heart, ruled by his brain: |
| You’ve seen the TV commercials, you’ve seen the poster campaign |
| You’ve seen the ads in the papers, there’s nothing else to explain |
| Just some words to maximise the market |
| Just a message that will reach the target |
| Promises that turn to dust |
| He is a man you can trust |
| This is a man of the people in politics now |
| Politics now, it’s just like selling soap powder |
| No money down — you lucky punters — |
| Full guarantee |
| Five year’s trial free! |
| He is a man you can trust |
| By dint of market research he knows which truths he should tell; |
| He’s got the mark of conviction, it serves the agency well; |
| Yes, he’s on course for election in politics now |
| Trust the propagandists' manifesto |
| Trust the politician with the promo |
| Trust the ads to buy your vote |
| Vote for brand x, it’s just like selling soap powder |
| Whatever next? |
| You lucky punters |
| Full guarantee… |
| Whatever next? |
| Show trials by decree… |
| The show trials are free |
| The show trials come free |
| Vote for brand x |
