[Hook Matisyahu] [Verse 1 Benefit] Dishonest politician, calm and always on his mission Connin all of those who listen long enough to his position Hes hollerin hollow promises, followin dollar signs They wallow in all his comments Theyre swallowin all his lines The campaign trail, they travel and have a nation Babblin aggravation, they dabble in fabrication And then every dollar and cent that they borrow and print Tomorrow is spent on wars full of sorrow and debt Until the currency collapses World is turnin on its axis And theres riots in the streets, and its burnin into blackness National insecurity, irrational fury Its all unsustainable, about to crash in a hurry And who will fight for us? The corrupt coward dies a thousand times on his power rise So its really no surprise, hes just a human in disguise Just a human in disguise, just a human in disguise [Hook Matisyahu] [Verse 2 Benefit] The honest common citizens a systematic victim But he doesnt realize that its the system that has tricked him And has stripped him of his rights And convinced him that hes free, so against his sense he wont Commence to hop the fence and flee But the truth is something evident, that common sense can see And he feels an ominous presence that dominates the scene Now hes watchin the TV and hes sort of confused Cause theyre distortin the views They choose to report in the news Plus hes deadbroke, he cant afford to be used By any system thats rigged to let the poor be abused And he sees the politicians plan to profit on disaster And he realizes Babylons a propaganda master So, now he keeps his eyes wideawake Not surprised by the fake lies devised by the snake And he keeps his faith in the fact that the truth will forever rise Whoever tries to sever ties to clever lies never dies
