"Politicians In My Eyes" lyrics

"Politicians In My Eyes"
(originally by Death)

The number one biggest game
Is when they gain the most fame
It's like a race to the top
Because they wanna be boss
They don't care who they step on
As long as they get along

Politicians in my eyes

They couldn't care less about you
They couldn't care less about me
As long as they are to end
The place that they want to be
They always wearing false smiles
It goes with the style

Politicians in my eyes

Always tryin' to be slick when they tell us their lies
They're responsible for sending young men to die
We have waited so long for someone to come along
And correct our country's law, but the wait has been too long

It's really sickening to see
The way they lie on TV
The truth is that they could be
A better man than you see
But when decision time comes
That's when they have the most fun

Politicians in my eyes

They always tryna convince
Just like we don't have the sense
They look just like a quiz
But they do real stupid things
They tell you to trust in them
Because you're their biggest friend

Politicians in my eyes

Reaching out, shaking hands
Making friends and other plans
Some will rise, some will fall
Some won't even answer calls
Lookie here, see them fight
See the twinkle in their eye
Politicians, tell me why?
Can't you hear the people cry?
Can't you hear them cry
Right now, way down on the side
Scream and shout

Hear the people cry
