Politician Songtext
von Seven Storey Mountain

I′m just a politician
I've got no time for sick and poor
I′ve got a busy schedule
I'm just a money raising whore
I can do you favors
You know I'll make your business boom
Don′t care about your crime statistics
I′ll put this country in a tomb

I've got some broken morals
That I′ll pass across the land
No need to criticize me
I'm only in it for the cash
And when I′m re-elected
I'll do it all over again
I′m buddy buddy with big business
Don't even need your votes to win


I'm just a public servant
The publics′ money serves me well
I own a dozen houses
I even own a few hotels
I get a nice allowance
From the rich I′m working for
And if you come in empty handed
Then i'll show your ass the door

I get inside information
That I use to make more dough
I′m cracking down on marijuana
But you know I'm snorting blow
I want to build a ball park
So I′ll tax you all to hell
I got some loose lipped partners
That I finally had to kill

Have you been asleep too long
Did you know that all this shit is going on behind your back
Or tell me do you even care
And I'll pick your pockets clean
And I′ll make it seem obscene
To question every action that I take

I'm just a politician
You know that we are all the same
Practice lying in the mirror
Buying eight-balls of cocaine


I've got some broken morals
That I′ll pass across the land
No need to criticize me
I′m only in it for the cash
And when I'm re-elected
I′ll do it all over again
I've got an in down at the courthouse
Don′t even need your votes to win

And I believe in democracy
Like I believe in the fucking tooth fairy
And I believe in democracy
Like I believe in the fucking tooth fairy
Have you been asleep too long
Did you know that all this shit is going on behind your back
Or tell me do you even care
And I'll pick your pockets clean
And I′ll make it seem obscene
To question every action that I take
And I believe
And I believe
And I believe
And I believe
And I believe
And I believe
And I believe
And I believe
And I believe
And I believe
And I believe
And I believe
And I believe
And I believe
And I believe
And I believe
