They keep talking of the things they'd do if we'd only vote them in Said, "One more dollar and all the bickering and suffering would end." If you'd sign your 'X' in favour it's three jobs for every man You can burn your boats, thats what they said It seemed they had it planned. And I hope they haven't forgotten the promises they made.
CHORUS: 'Cause they said they'd stop the fighting And they said they would bring peace And they said they'd find a serum that can cure all our disease And they said they'd house the homeless And put black and white in tune And they said they'd feed a hungry child And I hope it's someday soon.
Saw a man asleep in an alley lane with a paper for a bed And the headline shone beneath the man and this is what they read, "If elected there would be no persons living in the street" But the paper couldn't even provide shelter for his freezing feet. And I hope they haven't forgotten the promises they made.
CHORUS
Well they said it would be so different, if we'd would only play their games And I've been playing for so long and I swear its still the same!
