Array ( [sid] => 11354 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Read Between The Lies [time] => 2003-01-26 19:00:00 [hometext] => Sometimes we ignore some things in our life that are too important for us as for the future of our country and of our children...Politics [bodytext] => Politics, you claim the people speaks through you
Your restless mouth full of lies gain popularity
When we doubt every word you say and do
You build a wall so no one questions your honesty

An empty promise, lie unfulfilled
To steal a dream or get it killed
They claim they guide us to a safer land
But all they do is drag us deeper in the sand

You say you'll help us live in prosperity
Still we're penniless from our generosity
Sharing our money to quench your greed
When no one dares to stand against your deeds

"Send your donations, contribute to the cause"
Is steeling another code in your filthy laws?
So hear me now my friend in poverty
To stand up needs no force of divinity

Just when you hear those serpents call
Look deep in those deceiving eyes
Ignore their writings on the wall
You should read between the lies.

Read Between The Lies

Topic: political



Politics, you claim the people speaks through you
Your restless mouth full of lies gain popularity
When we doubt every word you say and do
You build a wall so no one questions your honesty

An empty promise, lie unfulfilled
To steal a dream or get it killed
They claim they guide us to a safer land
But all they do is drag us deeper in the sand

You say you'll help us live in prosperity
Still we're penniless from our generosity
Sharing our money to quench your greed
When no one dares to stand against your deeds

"Send your donations, contribute to the cause"
Is steeling another code in your filthy laws?
So hear me now my friend in poverty
To stand up needs no force of divinity

Just when you hear those serpents call
Look deep in those deceiving eyes
Ignore their writings on the wall
You should read between the lies.
