Mr. Politician, we hear the words you say. / Only time we see you is before election day.

Mr. Politician, is it all just a game, / a power struggle so fame is attached to your name.

 

 

Mr. Politician

By Yictove

Mr. Politician, why you act so hard?

Don't you know everybody want peace in their yard?

 

Mr. Politician, why you act so mean?

Don't you know that all hidden things are eventually seen?

 

Mr. Politician, why you act so cold?

History's greatest story is being told,

 

Poop people work so hard everyday.

No politician listens to what we say.

 

Present Administration organized crime.

What is the difference if you take what's name?

 

Mr. Politician, I hope you can see

how we surviving our reality.

 

Mr. Politician, we hear the words you say.

Only time we see you is before election day.

 

Mr. Politician, is it all just a game,

a power struggle so fame is attached to your name.

 

Mr. Politician, you such a strange superstar

when you get angry you send people to war.
