Where are those lost minds once so acute?

Politicians are a dismal group
Where’s the Attlee where’s the Wilson keen?~
Their main aim now is for us to be duped

Where are those lost minds once so acute?
Beveridge and Carrington had dreams
Politicians are a dismal group

The minds of most  have  turned into a soup
Ideas are not connected to good schemes
~Their main aim now is for us to be duped

Many of  the public have turned mute
We won the vote but as yet we’re unweaned
Politicians are  a much loathed group

Yet surely one or two must be astute
What does May say when she meets the Queen?
Their main aim if they have one is dilute

What  is democratic in our strain?
When we all go mad, who takes the blame?
Politicians are a dismal group
Their method’s now the poor to persecute
