  There is no 'away'
  
  
  What is Mechula? Closest thing I can find is a reference to a Hamas suicide bombing in 1995. Word seems incredibly out of place in the lyrics though.

    Mechula is a Hebrew term for bankrupt so morally mechula is morally bankrupt...
    
    Et in arcadia. arcadia ego 'has been highly influential in the history of art and more recently has been associated with the pseudohistory of the Priory of Sion' '(Priory of Sion perceived as a prestigious esoteric Christian chivalric order, whose members would be people of influence in the fields of finance, politics and philosophy, devoted to installing the "Grand Monarch")'

  General Comment:So anyway, this is about how 'democracy' is actually no choice at all, because whichever colour the party, they represent big business.

  General Comment:You have a choice, we are your voice
  Red, blue or yellow.
  We will ridicule away the green
  Another five lane motorway
  (You'll never even get a referendum anyway)
  Funny handshakes. insider dealing
  Et in arcadia. arcadia ego
  Backhanders and salamanders
  A powerhouse that is morally
  Mechula
  
  I'm sorry democracy is changing
  I'm sorry democracy is changing
  
  I'm not a slogan or a badge
  Or a cross in the ballot box
  Neither values or objectives
  You do not represent my deepest
  Thoughts and wishes
  Education in obsolete skills
  Stereotyping and media projection
  Industrial psychologists
  Plan a campaign that is financed by
  Big business
  
  You have a choice, we are your voice
  Red, blue or yellow.
  We will ridicule the green
  Another five lane motorway
  (You'll never even get a referendum anyway)

  General Comment:"Et in Arcadia ego" is a Latin phrase that most famously appears as the title of two paintings by Nicolas Poussin (1594–1665). The phrase is a memento mori, which is usually interpreted to mean "I am also in Arcadia" or "I am even in Arcadia", as if spoken by personified Death
