Born in the muddy, ignorant and green
Elected to the seat for the vast majority
Pull the politics of a half of America
That's the nature of the politician's greed
Turn the channels of the masses
Create a war and a little hysteria
Over weapons of mass destruction
Power driven by television and media
Tell the people what they want to hear
Keep them quiet for another year
Some words many know are dollars spent
Tribulations of a generation spent
Cover it all up with a little bit of scandal
Start the trials and defeat the president
There's no balance of performance
These laws are broken by authority
They blame poverty stricken minorities
The prices you pay in the land of the free
Tell the people what they want to hear
Keep them quiet for another year
Tell the people what they want to hear
Keep them quiet for another year
Everyone's laughing on the other side
As we crumble with our American pride
Up to say they don't care about education
It's dangerous, it's a state of our nation
Tell the people what they want to hear
Keep them quiet for another year
Tell the people what they want to hear
Tell the people what they want to hear
Keep them quiet for another year
Keep them quiet for another year
Keep them quiet for another year
