democracy is really in crisis as well
you know
I think that I was born into a
generation of disillusionment quite
understandably you know that I like most
people my age know politicians to be
self-serving lying ambitious thoughtless

designed to be as they are supposed to

here
we have to reinvest faith in democracy
you know when you look around the world
