Politicians
Seems no matter where I go
I hear the winds of revolution blow
stirring the souls that don’t understand
these whispers start from the mind of a man
Who seeks for himself his own private gain
Though he won’t sacrifice one moment of pain
Asking instead that others be giving
Providing the life HE dreams of living
“Donate your money so I won’t be poor
forfeit your life so I’ll enjoy mine more”
“Go and die
that I might cry
Over your casket as if I cared
But to tell the truth doesn’t matter to me
Left or right
Which side I hold
I’ll gladly trade your life for gold”
Through the manipulation of others they take their pride
Changing history in the hope they hide
The sins they’ve committed and the way they’ve lied
They’re all the same doesn’t matter the side
They love it most to feed off your fears
same old story for thousands of years
They don’t care about you
not for one single minute
Your cash and themselves
are the reason they’re in it
