Politicians Do Nothin' For Us

Verse 1: 

Health insurance costs go up every day

Check out your bills to see what you pay                                 (and)

They said it'd be better but they led us all astray

Politicians do nothin' for us                                                      (Politicians, they do nothin' for me)

Verse 2:

Every single day our country's further in debt

Don't try to guess how much worse it can get                         (will)          

If you think we're broke now, you ain't seen nothin' yet

Politicians do nothin' for us

Chorus:

We're tired of the lies and (the) promises they make

What they do best is cause pain and heartache                       (All they ever do is cause)

They say they're gonna help, but they're really on the take     (but all they do is take)

Politicians do nothin' for us                                                       

Verse 3:

Political elites live in an ivory tower                                            (their)

Working for anyone who gives them more power

They're more underhanded with every passing hour

Politicians do nothin' for us

Verse 4:

They listen to our phones and read our email

Watch what you say or you might end up in jail                        (could)

The privacy we had, is now a fairy tail                                        (just)

Politicians do nothin' for us

Chorus:

We're tired of the lies and (the) promises they make

What they do best is cause pain and heartache                       

They say they're gonna help, but they're really on the take     

Politicians do nothin' for us                                                   

Verse 5:

Our money use to earn lots of interest in the bank

But now it earns none, it's the Fed we can thank       

Negative interest rates aren't a bank prank                               (really aren't a prank)  (savings)

Politicians do nothin' for us

Verse 6:

Well, full time jobs are now part time, honey

And all the central bankers, think it's kinda funny

Cause they make more, as we make less money                        (have)

Politicians do nothin' for us

Chorus:

We're tired of the lies and (the) promises they make

What they do best is cause pain and heartache                       

They say they're gonna help, but they're really on the take     

Politicians do nothin' for us                                                     

Verse 7:

Our daughters and sons keep going to war

Can anybody tell me what we're fightin' for

Some say it's oil but the government says it's more

Politicians do nothin' for us

Verse 8:

We save all our lives hopin' we can retire

But retirement age gets higher and higher

We better plan on workin' until we expire

Politicians do nothin' for us

Chorus:

We're tired of the lies and (the) promises they make

What they do best is cause pain and heartache                       

They say they're gonna help, but they're really on the take     

Politicians do nothin' for us
