we all know politicians only go

just halfway there

just halfway there

the innocence of youth needs protection not abuse

but no one seems to care

yet no one seems to care



and you sit there and watch the world go around

from your pseudo-benevolent vantage point

while we who've been left to pick up after you

try our best to make some sense for those who come next



now what have you done to foster the truth

besides just hide the lies?

besides just hide the lies?

a selfish campaign never justifies the gain

but the means are verified

yeah the means are verified



and you sit there and insist you are right!

from your popular psychological podium

while those who rely and depend on you

they wilt because you don't accept we need each other



while sowing the seeds of Utopia

you invoked a convenient amnesia

you forgot how to care, you forgot how to provide

you forgot how to work toward a meaningful life
