Transparent
(How to be a Politician)
*Transparent, they say they'll be
Then hide so much from you and me
Make a promise that can't be met
Blame someone else and hope you forget
Give and take as they see fit
No need to worry of elections yet
Take your money and tell a lie
Hope your memory fades with time
Judge someone else for what they do
Then go and do the same thing to
Knowing they would not find fault
If what they did got the same result
It's not about give and take
Will stand their ground for parties sake
Don't worry for what may be right
For the good of all they will not fight
Transparent, they say they'll be
Then hide so much from you and me
Make a promise that can't be met
Blame someone else and hope you forget
Transparent*
