Democracy Lyrics
You have a choice, we are your voice
Red, blue or yellow.
We will blow away the green
Another five lane motorway
(You'll never get a referendum anyway)
Funny handshakes. insider dealing
Et in arcadia. arcadia ego
Backhanders and salamanders
A powerhouse that is morally
Mechula
I'm sorry democracy is changing
I'm sorry democracy is changing
I'm not a slogan or a badge
Or a cross in the ballot box
Neither values or objectives
You do not represent my deepest
Thoughts and wishes
Education in obsolete skills
Stereotyping and media projection
Industrial psychologists
Plan a campaign that is financed by
Big business
You have a choice, we are your voice
Red, blue or yellow.
We will blow away the green
Another five lane motorway
(You'll never get a referendum anyway)
Red, blue or yellow.
We will blow away the green
Another five lane motorway
(You'll never get a referendum anyway)

Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
So anyway, this is about how 'democracy' is actually no choice at all, because whichever colour the party, they represent big business.
You have a choice, we are your voice Red, blue or yellow. We will ridicule away the green Another five lane motorway (You'll never even get a referendum anyway) Funny handshakes. insider dealing Et in arcadia. arcadia ego Backhanders and salamanders A powerhouse that is morally Mechula

Dude, what a good, heavy song. I rock out to this one all the time...I guess nobody else likes it though...:-(
"Et in Arcadia ego" is a Latin phrase that most famously appears as the title of two paintings by Nicolas Poussin (1594–1665). The phrase is a memento mori, which is usually interpreted to mean "I am also in Arcadia" or "I am even in Arcadia", as if spoken by personified Death

It's "ridicule the green"
There is no 'away'
What is Mechula? Closest thing I can find is a reference to a Hamas suicide bombing in 1995. Word seems incredibly out of place in the lyrics though.
