Mr and Mrs Politician Man-Broken Promises

Mr. and Mrs. Politician man Keep on promising me Everything I could ever want From basic cheap to free There must be something there That I'm missing here Between the insurance debacle And my cost of living fears When elections come around I've really got to hand it To the promises they make That get more and more outlandish They promise you cheese from the moon And silver dust from the stars When all I mostly need right now Is cheap gas for my car With vanilla being the flavor Politicians savour as of late They give just enough of the free stuff But not too much away Keeping the drones wanting for more Where they don't feel the need to leave Eating out of their grimy hands Feeding off the greed You can find them wheeling and dealing In secret behind closed doors In their arrogance they've forgotten That we the people are keeping score We'll either oust them when the time is right Or raise the gallows and hang them high A good lesson in the making Perhaps they'll think twice next time before misbehaving
