Well I don't know what to do
Cause I really don't trust you
Our leaders don't have time
Are you gonna walk the line
Where's all the money gone
And where did it all go wrong
The cuts that don't make sense
Have left us in a mess
As I lie here thinking
My respect is sinking
Why do you let us down
So I know you think it's ok
And I know you say we're fine
But you're running out of fight
And we're running out of time
And I know we voted you in
But you had a secret plan
And the more you promise change
The more things stay the same
As I lie here thinking
My respect is sinking
Why do you let us down
Yet for all your privileged life
You still take all you can
There's no honour in your ways
And the system doesn't change
When I see you on TV
All your words they flow so well
But the truth is hard to find
So you can go to hell
As I lie here thinking
My respect is sinking
Oh! Why do you let us down
You decide what's good for us
From the safety of your tower
Your words affect us all
But you're blinded by the power
Well I know you-don't-think about us
And you never-take-the-blame
What about us
Ohh
It's not about us
All your sordid words and deeds
Yet we are jailed for less
No judgement or control
You're such a moral mess
So you send us off to war
To fight people we don't know
Some just don't come back
Yet your kind never go
As I lie here thinking
My respect is sinking
Why do you let us down
It's all about you
