A Mind Of My Own - Strawbs

Politician’s fighting hard to win

Getting a good position

So he won’t have to lose again

The battle’s always on

Working against disgrace

He has to win you over

Well it’s always the case

Ends up saving face

Delegations, flying in

Happiest relations

Smiling faces, shaking hands

The battle’s always on

Working against displacement

They have to win them over

If it’s only a case

Of saving space

No don’t bother telling me

I can see it for myself

I was born with a mind of my own

And I intend to keep it free

Still the seasons come and go

Bad influences pile up

Like the dirty driven snow

Turn off the news

I really don’t want to know

If there was anywhere left to go

Well I think I’d want to go

'Cause I really don’t like the show
