Wray Walker - Poli-Ticks Lyrics

The stage is set, the lights are bright
Promises flying, flying from left and right
They speak of change, they speak of hope
My people open your eyes, can you see the rope
Oh the game of politics, it never ends
They will laugh and shake your hand, yes they pretend
Behind walls and doors, they sign your freedom away
In the name of truth, but truth is betrayed
They draw the lines, they build the walls
The louder they speak, yes, the harder, harder we fall
We're just like puppets in the grand charade
But we hold the power to break, break the masquerade
Oh the game of politics, it never ends
They will laugh and shake your hand, yes they pretend
Behind walls and doors, they sign your freedom away
In the name of truth, but truth is betrayed
Rise up and stand, let your voices be heard
In a world of lies, we need a truthful word
United we stand, and divided we fall
But we can make a change, rewrite the story for all
Oh the game of politics, it never ends
They will laugh and shake your hand, yes they pretend
Behind walls and doors, they sign your freedom away
In the name of truth, but truth is betrayed
Oh the game of politics, it never ends
They will laugh and shake your hand, they will pretend
Behind walls and doors, they sign your freedom away
In the name of truth, the people are betrayed
