Why do they do it?

Why do they do it? Why do they do it?
Why do they stand on podiums and pulpits-
Lying and lying and lying and lying-
Even though we all know that they lie
Even though everyone says, I knew it!

How can they do it? How can they do it?
Spinning and spinning webs and webs of lies,
Until they are lost in the thick of it,
Entangling themselves until we’re sick of it.

Why do they do it? Why do they do it?
Whining in microphones, and salivating for cameras,
Inciting, bullying, blaming and always denying,
And lying and lying and lying and lying.

How can they do it? How can they do it?
Serving terms and terms and doing nothing,
While we sing their names and elect them back,
While they eat and eat and eat and eat,
Till their bellies swell and citizens starve.

Why do we do it? Why do we do it?
Campaign and campaign and campaign for them,
While our kindred die and die and die,
Of hunger and hunger and hunger,
Until there will be no one left to vote.
