Political Circus from Critical Minded by JAY MANAFEST

Verse I:

Step right up, it’s the political circus
where candidates want you to think they’re not worthless
beware of what’s underneath the surface
they ain’t out for a community service
selling us a lie as the votes we purchase
tricks in the media direct the focus
hopeless, nothing but political showbiz
time spent organizing’s better then your vote is

go ahead, vote for the lesser of evils
but know really, you’re just messing with weasels
They smile to your face, stab you in the back
no matter who wins the race we be going off track
so much time is spent on this fiction
instead of fixing the human condition
politicians number one ambition
is to get rich quick in this capitalist system

Verse II:

Have a seat, tune in to the show
watch as the red and blue team have a go
what are the policies, you don’t know
too busy watching as teams give or take blows
a boxing match where the game is fixed
where the only winning team is the team that’s rich
that’s it, that’s why we in a pinch
that’s why I don’t believe in this shit one bit

Ask yourself, what’s their platform promise
Cause as a voter, that is what your job is
instead you just get sucked into the dramas
hoping that maybe this time they’ll be honest
You vote on looks instead of their contents
empty slogans, like hope and progress
A reality show where they talk about nonsense
Democracy’s a popularity contest

Verse III:

24 hour news service fodder
eat it and feed it to your sons and daughters
flows like running water
breading the sheep that we lead to slaughter
Think man, you gotta think for yourself
Don’t listen to them ain’t good for your health
think fam, you gotta think for yourself
Don’t listen to them, their motives are stealth

Hear me, forget what they say
your ignorance that’s the bet that they play
serfhood, the threat that we face
a life of submission, the debt that we pay
What they want is control of your soul
why you think religious view hold so much pull
But the bag of tricks they hold’s full of holes
So watch out for when you go to the polls
