Politics

Lying through their teeth

To gain your vote of confidence

So depressing

It begs political abstinence

I know-perfection's unattainable

But in its current state

The truth is not sustainable

Politics without Principle

Trust coerced to doubt

It's that simple

Honest politics

A contradiction in terms

No matter the party

Deception's spreading like germs

I know - the system's been corrupted

By special interest groups

It's totally disrupted

Politics without Principle

Trust coerced to doubt

It's that simple

Far gone-we're derailed from the right track

Far gone-we'll never find our way back

Politics without Principle

Trust coerced to doubt

It's that simple
