Mr. Politician
Revealing the Deceptive Dance of Power: Mr. Politician Unmasked
Lyrics
Mr. Position sitting on your perch
Addressing a person of authority or power
Looking at the numbers, thinking what we're worth
Contemplating the value or worth of people
You're price is your conscience when though it allowed
One's integrity is measured by their conscience
So put your finger infidel
Criticism toward those in power for only recognizing worth during hardship
We're only good when we're down
Implies society is valued only when facing challenges
What can we say what suspense?
Questioning the impact of speaking up
From the wings of democracy they say is right
Referencing the notion of democracy supporting the accepted viewpoint
So we can go forth with hand in hand
Unity suggested despite contradicting actions
listen to our betters make dead a man
Highlighting influential figures causing harm or destruction
but don't forget where you've come from
Reminder not to lose sight of one's origins
Down at the bottom where you belong
Social commentary on societal hierarchy and where some belong
Would it do any good if I voted for a leech?
Questioning the efficacy of voting for self-serving individuals
Maybe the leech would practice what he preached
Hoping for consistency in the actions of those in power
They don't give a fuck
Expressing disregard or apathy from authorities
They don't give a toss
Emphasizing the indifference of those in power
Your vote for a pig, it won't be no loss
Disillusionment with the impact of voting for corrupt individuals
Mr. Position sitting on your perch
Repetition of addressing the person in power
Looking at the numbers, thinking what we're worth
Reiteration of contemplating societal worth
You're price is your conscience when though it allowed
Repeated emphasis on the compromise of integrity
So put your finger infidel
Reiteration of criticism for recognizing worth only during adversity
We're only good when we're down
Reiterating the idea of societal value during challenging times
Mr. Politician
Repetitive call-out to the politician to practice what they preach
Mr. Politician
-Mr. Politician
-Practice what you preach
Final plea for consistency and integrity from the politician
