Another False Political Prophet
Deceptive Words: Unmasking Political Illusions
Lyrics
Look me in the eyes and tell me what is right
Challenging someone to express their perspective on what is morally right.
Come on I dare you
Encouraging the person to take the challenge.
Prove your worth and stand behind every word
Asking for evidence and commitment to their words.
Oh what does that scare you?
Mocking the possibility that the challenge is intimidating.
Oh you're a politician now, I see
Observing a shift to a political stance.
So should we not take you seriously?
Questioning the sincerity and seriousness of the person's political involvement.
Oh you weren't speaking literally
Realizing the person wasn't speaking literally, possibly sarcastic.
Well that really cleared it all up for me
Expressing skepticism and sarcasm at the clarification provided.
And I know you, but you don't know me
Pointing out a lack of mutual understanding.
So why should I believe that you can decide what I need?
Questioning the credibility of the person to make decisions for the speaker.
So go on and make up another name
Accusing the person of creating false identities or narratives.
To make your story seem like it has credibility
Highlighting the person's attempt to make their story appear credible.
I nearly fell to the floor when I heard you
Expressing shock or disbelief at the person's actions or statements.
Set a new standard for stupidity
Labeling the person's behavior as exceptionally foolish.
Claiming you built a nation
Doubting the person's claim of nation-building.
When I doubt that you ever planted a seed
Casting doubt on the person's foundational contributions.
And that the people put their hopes in you
Rejecting the idea that people genuinely trust the person.
Is absolutely insane to me
Expressing disbelief at the perceived irrational trust in the person.
But I guess it goes to show
Reflecting on the apparent ability to manipulate democracy with wealth.
That you really can buy democracy
Suggesting that democracy can be influenced or bought.
And I know you, but you don't know me
Reiterating the lack of mutual understanding.
So why should I believe that you can decide what I need?
Questioning the person's authority to make decisions for the speaker.
So go on and make up another name
Accusing the person of creating false identities or narratives (repeated).
To make your story seem like it has credibility
Highlighting the person's attempt to make their story appear credible (repeated).
