(bass line)

Hello I'm Mr. So-and-so
I buzz to work
in my guilty little camaro.
welcome to my super-dry hand,
where you suddenly
fall through
so fast
you
feel gooey afterwards
and you'll never feel
like trusting again
(cuz I'm a Politician.)

It is time to
see what avenue
where the signs all say my
opponents name.
I hired the boys in black in the night to--
(shoot them down)
Welcome to my fakest smile,
so you feel like I care
and I go the extra mile
thank you for asking me
what I will do
(as a Politician.)

as your friendly neighbor,
we will pretend like we care
for you
little blue collar
numbers
(oops I mean people.)

Standing here in a suit.
I list what you need to hear
what you want to hear
so you like me.
I drink water with no label
cuz nobody paid me
I have shoes so shiny
you'll go blind from the gleam
I'm debating against him
who's got all the advantage
so instead of my own plan
I'll tell you all he can't manage
Welcome to my answers
to the questions you ask
I bought a book about lying
so you won't see through my mask
(cuz I'm a Politician)

Hello I'm Mr. So-and-so
and it's always nice to meet you.
I always have at least 3 brothers
so you know that I'm a family man.
I'll never talk about my daughter
(she'll ruin the campaign)
but I have kids!
Welcome to race.
the race to win...
I'm going to laugh when you tell a joke
even if I hate it to death.
(I'm used to screwing people off)
but you won't know that until
I'm in Office as your friendly neighborhood
(Politician)
