Politicians and Election Time

I stand here proclaiming I know all the answers the truth is I don’t know where the questions begin I put on a show like I know what I’m doing But my confidence is smoke and my knowledge pretend My fear is that one day someone will notice My snake oil and magic are a bundle of lies Then people will wake up and come to their senses Think for themselves and open their eyes But sheep like to follow while wolves take advantage It’s a story that plays out throughout history So I’ll keep pretending And act so deserving While stealing in private Cause I’m in this for me Hand me your babies I'll smile as I kiss them I'll tell you the things that you want to hear I’ll fill all my smiles with half truths and slander So you’ll think of me as elections grow near
