Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Their 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
[Verse 2]
Let me tell you 'bout politicians in my eyes
Politicians in my eyes, child
[Verse 3]
They could care less about you
They could care less about me
As long as they are the end
The place that they wanna be
They're always wearin' false smile
It goes with the style
[Verse 4]
I got to tell you 'bout politicians in my eyes
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
For too long
Yeah
Been a while, long
[Verse 7]
It's really sickening to see
The way they lie on TV
Truth is that he could be
A better man that you see
But when decision time comes
That's when they have the most fun
[Verse 8]
Got to tell you 'bout politicians in my eyes
In my eyes, child
[Verse 9]
They always tryna convince
Just like we don't have the sense
They look just like a quiz
But, stupid things, tell you to trust in them
Because your biggest friend
[Verse 10]
Politicians in my eyes, baby
[Verse 11]
Reaching out, shaking hands
Making friends and other plans
Some rise, some will fall, some won't even answer calls
Look a-here, see 'em fight
See the twinkle in their eyes
Politicians tell me why, can't you hear the people cry?
Can't you hear 'em cryin'?
Right now, way down on the sideline
Scream and shout, tryin' to make their pain
Relevant again
Hear the people cry
[Verse 12]
I can't see 'em
Shout
From the middle, I
Do it all the time
But you refuse to see
You refuse to be
Oh, I pack my things and leave, yeah
