Elected

When you show yourselves

And off the paint goes

Do I feel I've been made a fool

When your yes turns to noes

Turning around with opinion

Away from what caused you to win and

Burning that last piece of trust, how can we win when you must

Condemn what you once said was just

You're not leaving

Ever greedy and

Sick of hearing

Vows dissappearing

We get two years of this and two years of that

Shame on me

Failed to see what's underneath

Fools are we

Who smile back when you show your teeth

But you won't bite the hand, 'cause you understand

Actions selected could get you elected again

Got to brace ourselves

Too many say go

Absorbing the poison, unaware

Too late to say no

Selling your soul for a king's seat

Another will soon take your place

As long as you're running the race

You cover your wicked ways

The scapegoats will come save your face

We get two years of this and two years of that

Shame on me

Failed to see what's underneath

Fools are we

Who smile back when you show your teeth

But you won't bite the hand, 'cause you understand

Actions selected could get you elected again

At the end of your campaign

We celebrate your coming reign

Shadows creep behind the scenes

Pulling strings that can't be seen

But we will not forget

Shame on me

Failed to see what's underneath

Fools are we

Who smile back when you show your teeth

But you won't bite the hand, 'cause you understand

Actions selected could get you elected again

It's all a game

You feel no shame

And when the next comes along

It's like you've done nothing wrong

Actions selected could get you elected again
