Politicians In My Eyes Lyrics
[Intro]
One, two, three, now!
[Verse 1]
The number one biggest game
It's 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
[Verse 2]
They could care less about you, they could care less about me
As long as they are to end the place that they want to be
They're always wearing false smiles, I guess it goes with the style
Politicians in my eyes
[Chorus]
Always tryin' to be slick when they tell us the 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's been too long
[Verse 3]
It's really sickening to see the way they lie on TV
The truth is that he can be a better man than you see
But when decision time comes, that's when they have all the fun
Politicians in my eyes
One, two, three, now!
[Verse 1]
The number one biggest game
It's 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
[Verse 2]
They could care less about you, they could care less about me
As long as they are to end the place that they want to be
They're always wearing false smiles, I guess it goes with the style
Politicians in my eyes
[Chorus]
Always tryin' to be slick when they tell us the 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's been too long
[Verse 3]
It's really sickening to see the way they lie on TV
The truth is that he can be a better man than you see
But when decision time comes, that's when they have all the fun
Politicians in my eyes
[Verse 4]
They're always tryin' to convince
Just like we don't have the sense
They look just like kings and queens
But they do real stupid things
They'll tell you to trust in them
Because you're their biggest friend
Politicians in my eyes
[Chorus]
Reaching out, shaking hands, making friends and other plans
Some will rise, some will fall, some won't even answer calls
Look ahead, see them fight, see the twinkle in their eye
Politicians tell me why can't you hear the people cry?
Yeah
[Instrumental Outro]
They're always tryin' to convince
Just like we don't have the sense
They look just like kings and queens
But they do real stupid things
They'll tell you to trust in them
Because you're their biggest friend
Politicians in my eyes
[Chorus]
Reaching out, shaking hands, making friends and other plans
Some will rise, some will fall, some won't even answer calls
Look ahead, see them fight, see the twinkle in their eye
Politicians tell me why can't you hear the people cry?
Yeah
[Instrumental Outro]
