Show Me

SHOW ME

From all corners of the state
Came vain promises on earth
A very heart thrilling indeed
Raising hopes filling in need

Show me !
A man who claims to be perfect
I'll show you a bloody hypocrite
Who is imperfect a prefect

Believing a politician's
Promises during election
It's like believing in  illusion
Of what men say when having ********

Show me a politician
Who does not lie to shine
And I will allow you to imagine
A prostitute who's a virgin
