Lyrics

POLITICAL GAMES
How do you feel when you lie
Straight-faced while people cry?
How do you feel when you promise something
That you know you'll never do?
Giving false hope to the people
Giving false hope to the underprivileged
Do you really sleep at night
When you know you're living a lie?
To you it is just a job
To the people it hurts to the bone
(Ooh, political games that they play)
(Ooh, political games that they play)
(Ooh, political games that they play)
(Ooh, political games that they play)
What do you say to the orphans of the women and men you sent to war?
What do you say to the widows
Of the men you sent to war?
Telling them it is good for the country
When you know it's good for your ego (What a shame)
Do you really sleep at night
When you know you're living a lie? (Living a lie, living a lie)
You talking tough, you talking sincerely (Talking tough, talking sincerely)
Giving false hope to the infected, giving false hope to the affected
To you it is just a job
To the people it hurts to the bone
(Ooh, political games that they play)
(Ooh, political games that they play)
(Ooh, political games that they play)
