If we vote for you, do you promise
To be upright, decent and honest
To have our best interest at heart
You understand why we don't believe you
You're way too easy to see through
Not the best places to start
There are no rocks at Rockaway beach
And all that glitters isn't gold
You're all so drunk on money and power
Inside your Ivory tower
Teaching us not to be smart
Making laws that serve to protect you
But we will never forget that
You tore our families apart
There are no rocks at Rockaway beach
And all that glitters isn't gold
So if we vote for you, do you promise
To be upright, decent and honest
And take away all of the fearYou sit and wait for us to elect you
But all we'll do is reject you
Your politics bore us to tears
There are no rocks at Rockaway beach
And all that glitters isn't gold
The lyrics VOTE FOR ME of THE SPECIALS is also present in the album Encore (2019)
The Specials, anche conosciuti come The Special AKA, sono un gruppo musicale britannico formatosi a Coventry nel 1977. Considerati uno dei massimi esponenti del movimento 2 Tone ska britannico della fine degli anni settanta, insieme a gruppi come Madness, The Selecter e The Beat, hanno saputo coniugare il ritmo energico dello ska con testi politici e sociali che riflettevano le tensioni e le disuguaglianze dell'epoca. Il loro sound, caratterizzato da un mix di ska, rocksteady e punk, ha influenzato generazioni di musicisti e continua ad essere apprezzato per la sua energia contagiosa e il suo messaggio di speranza e cambiamento. Tra i brani più rappresentativi si ricordano «Ghost Town», «A Message to You Rudy» e «Too Much Too Young». L'album d'esordio, omonimo, del 1979 è considerato un classico del genere 2 Tone.
