"Vote For Me" lyrics - THE SPECIALS

If we vote for you, do you promise
To be upright, decent, and honest?
To have our best interest at heart?
You understand why we don't believe you
You're way too easy to see through
Not the best of places to start

[Chorus:]
There are no rocks at Rockaway Beach
And all that glitters isn't gold

You're all so drunk on money and the power
Inside your ivory tower
Teaching us not to be smart
Making laws that serve to protect you
But we will never forget that
You tore our families apart

[Chorus:]
There are no rocks at Rockaway Beach
And all that glitters isn't gold

So if we vote for you, do you promise
To be upright, decent, and honest?
And take away all of the fear?
You sit and wait for us to elect you
But all we'll do is reject you
Your politics bore us to tears

[Chorus:]
There are no rocks at Rockaway Beach
And all that glitters isn't gold
