| 作词 : Hammill | |
| 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. |
