Promises promised
Dreams on fire
Selling us hope
Through tangled wire

Votes come easy
Truths come late
Shiny suits
At the debates

Money talks
It always wins
In the dark
Where it begins
Politricks
With twisted grins
Spinning webs
With golden pins

Whispers and deals
Behind closed doors
Power drawn
From flaws and wars

Empty speeches
Full of lies
Behind the curtains
They disguise

We see the game
We see the pawns
From dusk till dawn
They lead us on
