Sharper's Game

Let’s create authorities
Highlight their careers 
Hide in vast minorities 
Live in constant fears
Some of their performances
Threaten our rights 
Didn't we expect all this
To perpetuate their lies?
So let’s excuse authorities
Their fails and victories 
Their top priorities
Their contradictories
Let’s excuse us commons too
Aren’t we all suspected
In the crimes we have to do
For those we elected
They keep worsening our lives
For a greater purpose
And we cannot get more wise
Although we have learnt those
Bitter lessons, but in vain
It’s a sharper’s game
One can vote, or can abstain
It turns out the same
