Telling the truth surely won’t get you far
Tax breaks for the rich. What about the poor?
I guess another night of sleeping on the floor
The homeless left without help on the streets
They barely get by with nothing to eat
You just sit there high upon your throne
Mister shut up and leave us alone
(chorus)
When the government wastes your money
And you’re living in poverty
Who then do you believe in?
Who then do you trust?
Watch it! I see right through your smile
Give you an inch and you’ll take a mile
There’s something up your sleeve
I see it in your grin
You’ll stop at nothing as long as you win
You send the troops over seas to fight some damn war!
They don’t even believe in what they’re fighting for
Medical expenses too high so what’s your next move?
Do something quick! You have a lot to prove!
(chorus)
(solo) Hessil
Wake up! Don’t be brain washed by their lies
They’ll tell you one thing and the truth they’ll hide
They’ll try to take away our rights
And then even some more
This is how they’ll start our new civil war
Stand up! Protect our country we call our own
We won’t cave in because this nation is our home
You just sit there high upon your throne
Mister shut up and leave me alone
