Gonna go down and cast my vote (clap-clap)
Down at the polling place (clap-clap), down at the polling place (clap-clap)
Down at the polling place
Gonna go down and cast my vote (clap-clap)
Down at the polling place, ain’t gonna suffer fools no more!

I ain’t gonna suffer fools no more
I’m gonna settle up the score
I’ll vote for peace instead of wa-a-ar —
I ain’t gonna suffer fools no more
The people’s will you can’t ignore
I’ll vote for peace instead of war!

Gonna go down and cast my vote (clap-clap)
Down at the polling place (clap-clap), down at the polling place (clap-clap)
Down at the polling place
Gonna go down and cast my vote (clap-clap)
Down at the polling place, ain’t gonna suffer fools no more!

I ain’t gonna suffer fools no more
The law’s for rich as well as poor
Clean government we will resto-o-ore –
I ain’t gonna suffer fools no more
I’ll raise my voice, now hear me roar
 (Louder)  Clean government we will restore!

Gonna go down and cast my vote (clap clap)
Down at the polling place (clap clap), down at the polling place (clap clap)
Down at the polling place
Gonna go down and cast my vote
Down at the polling place

(Slowing, with emphasis):   Ain’t gonna suffer fools … no … more!
