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

[ verse 2 ]
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

Em Am Em Am
well they said it would be so different , if we would only play their games
Em Am C D
and i’ve been playing for so long and i swear its still the same!
