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
