about

Tongue in cheek look at the virtues of politicians, told from the perspective of one telling the truth for once. layered instrumentation and angular, edgy feel.

lyrics

Started life as a jolly good man, believing I could fly,
now I’m taking all the people for a ride,
Constituents they write letters to my house
and my little loony cronies write them back
I’m a politician man I leave my conscience in a drawer
packed beneath my morals and my gun
I’m a politician man I never close an open door
and you’ll never even know whose side I’m on.
I don’t give a fig or a damn I just hide behind the lies,
if I don’t get elected I will die.
I stand by my convictions indiscretions and my fraud,
and with luck I’ll be booted to the lords.
Well you know it’s not my fault I only want what’s best for you,
it’s only for the good of common man
I’ll take everything you own and I’ll sell it back to you,
and it never really changes when I’m gone
There’ll be another one.
