Promises,Promises


Politics You can be real dirty Only we see your sanctimonious airs of supposed transparency. Before the polls, You make great promises of progress You are the Moses, sent to save us You're Josiah, you reform Before the polls Perpetuating propaganda slyly Rigging to make right Pharoah's wrongs Believe, believe! Believe in me" You say. We do, we don't. We've been here. But hope dares to draw us to your side Who knows? you could be different After the polls We're still where we are. What can we say? We saw it coming.
