Politicians On the High Ground

Politicians on the High Ground By Franklin Price 8/10/2015 Politicians on the high ground Whatever could that mean Upright, upfront. upstanding I'm not sure I've ever seen Speaking on their platforms Telling of their don't s and do s I've been there, seen that brother I've walked a little in your shoes Know how much you're hurting Hard to pay the bills and all Here to serve the little people All you have to do is call What's that? You couldn't get me? Contact me through the internet A canned reply I'll send you That is likely all you'll get I'm really much too busy Hobnobbing with my cronies here Eventually I'll get to you Election time is near I ask you to support me Send me money you have found So I will be here next time Ruling from this higher ground
