Politically a Politician
Politically a Politician

Politically a politician
Comes from the same old place
Doesn't matter nationality
Social standing creed or race
Spouting party politics
Trying hard to keep the pace.
Telling what it is they'll do for us
From both sides of the face
When in the deepest of the south
Have a pick-up for a toy
In Farmland drive a tractor
Raise some wheat or maybe soy
To leaders of our industry
May be verbose or coy
Anything that is required
To bring out the smiles of joy
Be the ones they have to be
Say they've walked in every shoe
Have morals when they need them
For what it is they have to do
Forget them if advantageous
Tell you stormy skies are blue
Promise all that they perceive
Will get your vote from you
Once in awhile some come along
Say they've listened to our call
Arising from a different place
Have put their names upon the wall
Preach their own agendas
Have come to stop to end the squall
Will fix all of our problems
Maybe they're politicians after all
