Politicians, politicians,
their promises are ringing in my ear.
Politicians, politicians,
you can al ways tell
when it's election year.
They'll shake your hand and smile,
and kiss the babies all
the while.
They'll promise anything
beneath the sun.
The friends they could not see before,
now they'll greet them more and more,
and they'll even say the next time
they won't run.
Politicians, politicians,
their promises are ringing
in my ear.
Politicians, politicians,
you can al ways tell
when it's election year.
Their door's always unlocked, they say,
but how about after election day?
Are they home
when you come knockin' at their door?
And when you're knockin'
and a -wishin',
they'll be off somewhere a -fishin'
And leavin' everything in a mess
just like before.
Now mudslinging they will not do,
they deal in facts that are proven too,
yet they pass the buck
so fast your head'll swim.
Yeah this sorta gets my goat,
but I ain't registered so I can't vote,
you just take your pick and vote
for him or him or him.
Politicians, politicians,
their promises are ringing in my ear
Politicians, politicians,
you can always tell
when it's election year
Politicians, politicians,
their promises are ringing in my ear
Politicians! Politicians!
You can always tell
them it's election year!
