[intro]

[instrumental]

Jerry went to school
But he wanted so much more
He was thinking about congress
He would even up the score

He knew he loved his country
But he had to pay the rent
He would go to the house
and his people represent

[instrumental]

He found it was not easy
Not everyone agreed
The wanted different things
He could do just two or three

He thought he'd join a party
They would help him get elected
They said support our platform
And you will be selected

[instrumental]

So he went back to his people
And sold the party line
He soon would be elected
It all happened in good time

Who cares what you think
Who cares what you want
Just pick the choice I offer
And I will do all that I can

[chorus]
This is what they call democracy
A game rigged for just a few
Don't you ever believe 
They're doing it for you

[instrumental]

So he went back to his people
And sold the party line
If you let me do this now
I will take care of you somehow

Don't tell me what you think
Don't tell me what you want
This is what you're gonna get
Just sign the dotted line

[chorus]
This is what they call democracy
A game rigged for just a few
Don't you ever believe 
They're doing it for you
They're doing it for you

[instrumental]

This is what they call democracy
A game rigged for just a few
Don't you ever believe 
They're doing it for you
They're doing it for you

They're doing it for you

It will be best for you

There is nothing they can do

It will be best for you
