Forever Otherwise - Counting on You Lyrics

Now you bear my cross
You owe me some payback
Ballot bribery
Played out through some hack
We'll bring better days
The papers smear and crow
Recount tensions high
The mandate's all you know

We count on you
You settle in hypocrisy
You're in my view
You can count on me

Your Eton mess
No fanfare for the common man
The loyal newsman's cry
Committing us to damn
Five years' revelry
Expenses are the game
Headline bigotry
You treat us all the same

We count on you
You settle in hypocrisy
You're in my view
You can count on me

We'll get you
You can count on me
We'll break you
Oh count on me
