<p>YOU SAY YOU CAN FIX UNEMPLOYMENT, BUT MORE HAVE LOST THEIR JOBS.</p>
<p>IT DOESN’T SEEM TO BOTHER YOU ‘CAUSE YOU HANG OUT WITH THE SNOBS.</p>
<p>YOU PROMISE US THIS, YOU PROMISE US THOSE,</p>
<p>WHAT WE’LL RECEIVE, ONLY GOD KNOWS.</p>
<p>BECAUSE THEY’RE POLITICAL PROMISES.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>YOU SAY THE WAR HAS ENDED, AND OUR SOLDIERS ARE COMING HOME.</p>
<p>THEY WHY ARE THEIR WIVES AND FAMILIES, SITTING AT HOME ALL ALONE?</p>
<p>YOU PROMISE US THIS, YOU PROMISE US THOSE,</p>
<p>WHAT WE’LL RECEIVE, ONLY GOD KNOWS.</p>
<p>BECAUSE THEY’RE POLITICAL PROMISES.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>WE CAME TO YOU WITH HOPES, THAT YOU WOULD SIGN OUR BILL.</p>
<p>BUT SINCE THAT NEVER HAPPENED WE WISH YOUR MOM HAD USED THE PILL.</p>
<p>YOU PROMISE US THIS, YOU PROMISE US THOSE,</p>
<p>WHAT WE’LL RECEIVE, ONLY GOD KNOWS.</p>
<p>BECAUSE THEY’RE POLITICAL PROMISES.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>YOU CALL YOURSELF A POLITICIAN, SOME CALL IT HYPOCRASY.</p>
<p>I SAW YOU GETTING ARRESTED TODAY SO I GUESS I’LL CALL IT THIEVERY.</p>
<p>YOU PROMISE US THIS, YOU PROMISE US THOSE,</p>
<p>WHAT WE’LL RECEIVE, ONLY GOD KNOWS.</p>
<p>BECAUSE THEY’RE POLITICAL PROMISES.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>YOU SAY YOU’LL LOWER OUR TAXES, AND LOWER THE PRICE OF GAS.</p>
<p>YOU BETTER HONOR YOUR PROMISES, OR YOU CAN KISS MY ASS.</p>
<p>YOU PROMISE US THIS, YOU PROMISE US THOSE,</p>
<p>WHAT WE’LL RECEIVE, ONLY GOD KNOWS.</p>
<p>BECAUSE THEY’RE POLITICAL PROMISES.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>WE ONLY ASKED YOU TO HELP US OUT SO THIS SHOULD NOT BE A SURPRISE.</p>
<p>YOU KNOW I WOULDN’T BELIEVE YOU, IF YOUR TONGUE CAME NOTORIZED.</p>
<p>YOU PROMISE US THIS, YOU PROMISE US THOSE,</p>
<p>WHAT WE’LL RECEIVE, ONLY GOD KNOWS.</p>
<p>BECAUSE THEY’RE POLITICAL PROMISES.</p>
<p>BECAUSE THEY’RE POLITICAL PROMISES.</p>
<p>YOU KNOW THEY’RE POLITICAL PROMISES.</p>
