Political - Bribes


There's an issue

Somewhere

The issue is

Something

 

What it is

I don’t care

 

Because this issue

Whatever it is

Wherever it is

Can be solved

 

With some money

In the right hands

With a wink

To the right person

With a comment

Discreetly

 

This issue

This problem

Could be

World changing

World shaping

 

This issue

This problem

Could be

Vital

Important

 

What it is

I don’t care

 

Because this issue

Whatever it is

Wherever it is

Can be solved

 

With some money

In the right hands

With a wink

To the right person

With a comment

Discreetly

 

The newspapers

Are printing

What I'd like

To be lies

 

They aren't lies

But they can be

Made

Shaped

They are in my pocket

They owe me

A favour

And

Ill call it in

 

What it is

I don’t care

 

Because this issue

Whatever it is

Wherever it is

Can be solved

 

With some money

In the right hands

With a wink

To the right person

With a comment

Discreetly

 

I'll get rid of it

This issue

This problem

Because

I don’t care

 

So what if it could

Shape the world

Change the way we live

Make life better

 

Whatever

I don’t care

 

I'll pour money

Into hands

Wink to all

The right people

Comment discreetly

As much as possible

 

Because

They are telling

Lies

At least

They should be

Lies

And

If I get my say

They will be
