lyrics

Your campaign is based on a lie
Watch young children die
Logos, lectures, cash
It's a political bash
Promise to stop raising taxes
Gain your support from the masses
Grow in strength, grow in power
Make us the citizens cower

Master of deception...promise
Policies of misconception...liar
Dishing out foreign aid...promise
Serving the rich brigade...bullshit

Confusion of who is serving who
Play under a sky of blue
Eager to go fight a war
Feel political egos soar

CHORUS
Light a match for a better tomorrow
Hard earned money you will borrow
Promise, change, promise, hope (x4)

You've become a professional liar...promise
Millions of kids you'll inspire...liar
Sometimes we just don't give a fuck...promise
This governments run amuck...bullshit

Charging a thousand dollars a plate
Some can't remember the last time they ate
Misplaced loyalties arise
You're in for a big surprise

CHORUS

Playing a hero's charade...promise
The star of the big parade...liar
Playing a great puppeteer...promise
Maybe it's you we all must fear...bullshit

You stand as the biggest hypocrite
For you I don't give a shit
You say one thing, mean another
Why should we even bother

See a vote, pick it up
All day long you'll have good luck
Defy a friend, defy a foe
It's all the same, who will know

Promise, liar, promise, bullshit
