Death (protopunk band)
Politicians in my Eyes
[Intro]
1, 2, 3, now
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
[Chorus]
Politicians in my eyes
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
[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
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
[Chorus]
They're always tryin to convince
Just like we don't have the sense
They look just like it's a quiz
But they do real stupid things
They'll tell you to trust in them
Because you're their biggest friend
[Chorus]
Reaching out, shaking hands
Making friends and other plans
Some will rise, some will fall
Some won't even answer calls
Look a here, see them fight
See the twinkle in their eye
Politicians tell me why
Can't you hear the people cry
Yeah
