Lying through their teeth
To gain your vote of confidence
So depressing
It begs political abstinence
I know-perfection's unattainable
But in its current state
The truth is not sustainable
Politics without Principle
Trust coerced to doubt
It's that simple
Honest politics
A contradiction in terms
No matter the party
Deception's spreading like germs
I know - the system's been corrupted
By special interest groups
It's totally disrupted
Politics without Principle
Trust coerced to doubt
It's that simple
Far gone-we're derailed from the right track
Far gone-we'll never find our way back
Politics without Principle
Trust coerced to doubt
It's that simple
