That’s what they say
Just fudge all the issues
Make it go away

Admit the smallest scrap
Tell only a bit
Designed to confuse
And full of ****

Don’t talk about truth
In any way
I’m a politician
I don’t mean what I say

And you are a voter
Just one of the sheep
Why don’t you get lost?
My secret’s I’ll keep

You don’t ask questions
When it benefits you
Why bother me now
About the things I do?

Go stay in your corner
And leave me be
You talk sanctimonious
Like the deal you don’t see

You are too lazy
To control your own life
You gave me the job
And I ain’t your wife

If you don’t know corruption
Is the game that we play
Then you are naïve
And don’t get to say

One damn thing we will hear
Stay in your place
We need no interference
In this rat race

Just believe all the myths
We feed you today
That we are selfless
You LIKE it that way

The dirty work get’s done
Pretending we're kind
We get the big bucks
And you can stay BLIND [comments] => 3 [counter] => 350 [topic] => 41 [informant] => Steeleyes [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 1 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => political )
POLITICAL ARROGANCE
