They keep talking of the things they'd do if we'd only vote them in
|
One more dollar and all the bickering and suffering would end.
|
If you'd sign your 'X' in favour it's three jobs for every man
|
You can burn your boats, thats what they said,
|
It seemed they had it planned.
|
And I hope they haven't forgotten, the promises they made
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
|
Cause they said they'd stop the fighting
|
And they said they would bring peace
|
And they said they'd find a serum that can cure all our disease.
|
And they said they'd house the homeless
|
And put black and white in tune
|
And they said they'd feed a hungry child
|
And I hope it's someday soon
|
|
Saw a man sleep in an alley lane with a paper for a bed
|
And the headline shown beneath the man and this is what they read,
|
"If elected there would be no persons living in the street"
|
But the paper couldn't even provide shelter for his freezing feet.
|
And I hope they haven't forgotten, The promises they made
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Well they said it would be so different, if we'd would only play their games
|
And I've been playing for so long and I swear its still the same!
|
|
[Chorus 2x]
|
