The Speech Of A Politician
Famous words have been said
Staring into your eyes
Scanning the audience
A distant fervor in their utterances
Syllable after syllable
Pulling you to their view
Convincing you thoroughly
That they can help
They are lies that speak the truth
Truths that turn to lies
Well meant ulterior motives
They change with each area's time
Integrity is forfeit
With each tune these songbirds sing
They mean well to aid you
Only temporary comfort is achieved
Aid and Comfort
Two very different things
One is what you vote for
The other is for your vote
Staring into your eyes
Scanning the audience
A distant fervor in their utterances
Syllable after syllable
Pulling you to their view
Convincing you thoroughly
That they can help
They are lies that speak the truth
Truths that turn to lies
Well meant ulterior motives
They change with each area's time
Integrity is forfeit
With each tune these songbirds sing
They mean well to aid you
Only temporary comfort is achieved
Aid and Comfort
Two very different things
One is what you vote for
The other is for your vote
