Who gave politicians power
By deciding with a tick
Who heard all spouting policies?
Forgotten just as quick
What made them give us promises?
They never meant to keep
What ‘u’ turns will they think of next
When getting in too deep
Why do we pay them wages?
For things they got so wrong
Why keep them in our government
If they’ve been there too long
Where should we look for leadership?
There’s no one we can trust?
Where are the ones with half a brain?
To stop this boom and bust
When are the next elections?
Should we send them all to schools?
To learn what’s right & proper
By sticking to the rules
