Sipping gin and tonic

Paid off in back handers

Just a little ironic

You maybe tall
Describing physical attributes and material possessions, emphasizing external appearances.
You maybe short
-Drive a great big car
-That somebody bought
-Coz nobody listens
Expressing frustration and disillusionment with a lack of attention and care from others, portraying life as unfair and unchanging.
And nobody cares
-Life's so cruel
-It's never been fair
-Nobody listens
-To a word we say
-And nothing ever changes
-It's always been that way
-You can take a look forward
Reflecting on broken promises and betrayal, possibly in the context of political or societal expectations.
Then take a look back
-They promise you the world
-Then stab you in the back
-We can take a vote left
Highlighting the futility of choosing between different options, suggesting that no one ever gets things right.
Or a vote right
-Regardless who wins
-Nobody gets it right
-Coz Nobody listens
Reiterating the theme of neglect and indifference, emphasizing the stagnation of life's circumstances.
And nobody cares
-Life's so cruel
-It's never been fair
-Nobody listens
-To a word we say
-And Nothing ever changes
-It's always been that way
-Pass on the blame
Critiquing the tendency to shift blame without remorse, portraying reality as a mere game.
Without any shame
-Hiding from the truth
-It's all just a game
-Wake up in the morning

Go to sleep at night

And nobody cares
-Life's so cruel
-It's never been fair
-Nobody listens
-To a word we say
-And Nothing ever changes
-It's always been that way
