Paid up, paid off
Paid up, paid off
Government officials
Paid up, paid off
People in the middle
Paid up, paid off
Made superficial
Paid up, paid off
Skeptical moment I hear the words
"When I'm elected, I'll do better
You'll be better represented," lot of talk
Forget they said it, never implemented
Left to wonder if they meant it, defected
Or knew where this was headed
What could've been done instead of
Deflecting questions, getting answers
Based on more than first impressions
Tend to the mess, too long gone neglected
Losing what goes unprotected
Systemic, self-interest, unchecked, left to
Build up to armageddon
Paid up, paid off
Government officials
Paid up, paid off
People in the middle
Paid up, paid off
Made superficial
Paid up, paid off
I suppose I could sit back and pretend
It's for our betterment, but then to what end
When won't give the students a fighting chance
Give 'em less, recruit with debt, cost an arm and a leg
Dropout, graduate, just be sure to keep your head
Down, blue collared, left for dead in the system
Healthcare being cut, not immune, gotta be resistant
Can't live and let live with a public address that isn't
Addressin' lessons, neglected, time of day all it's given
Via polarized political pundits, desensitize corruption
Funny, making money, to laugh it off, like it's nothing
No it's not, ever thought hard, to call progress
When next year, find it gone, halfhearted, half a mind
Need 'nother one to function
Paid up, paid off
Government officials
Paid up, paid off
People in the middle
Paid up, paid off
Made superficial
Paid up, paid off
Where's the honest debate, if none, what will it take
Cause there's more going on than they've got to say
It's a bipartisan problem, got lot on all sides afflicted
Forget their purpose, get greedy, ignorant or malicious
Discount moral agenda, forfeit for conflict of interest
Sabotage, paying off, judge, jury and witness
The epidemic of countries hiding their sickness
Won't fix it, perpetual legacy, shortsighted flawed ambition
Spending millions, just relentless as life's unforgiving
Spite it all we're living, 'tween being in bloom or wilting
Lotta people thinking this the end, or the beginning
Of a new age, epiphany, just another gimmick
Paid up, paid off
Government officials
Paid up, paid off
People in the middle
Paid up, paid off
Made superficial
Paid up, paid off
