They tell us to wait, yeah we'll wait but for how long
  Keep us quiet, dismiss our ideas but for how long
  Let's concentrate and reevaluate
  The economy's sunk and we've all got to pull together to raise it up
  
  Deter my nation
  
  Endless campaigning, a void in your ? for how long
  Promises preached, the nation's appeased but for how long
  The first to complain is usually the last one to vote
  Well my vote is cast, we need a national antidote
  
  This is not certain
  Preach to spread fear
  I'm venting my frustration with the hope that you'll hear
  
  Be aware of your future and who's plotting it out
  If you neglect your nation you deserve to live in doubt
  
  Well it's a wise man who opens up his mind before his mouth
  Some politicians these days are in a wisdom drought
  
  Take some pride in your country give some love to your land
  Sentiment is not enough to really give a damn
  
  They're racing again, to plant what you see but for how long
  Count up your votes, gain a big lead, but fo rhow long
  We'll have to wait to face our fate
  To see if from our entanglements I'll still be able to extricate
  
  Deter my nation
  Deter my nation
  Deter my nation
  Determination
