Pack of Lies

Verse 1
You said that you would give everyone a tax cut
The middle class is still waiting
For what they've been promised
Why did the rich receive more money than the poor?
The water supply is dirtier than it's ever been
The cost of living is increasing
While the standard of living is slowly decreasing

Verse 2
You said that you'd be a compassionate and strong leader
By leading the nation into a promising future
Many retirees worry about their grandchildren
Because they're not sure if world affairs will ever improve
The cost of dissenting is increasing
While the standard of democracy is slowly eroding

Bridge
The level of hypocrisy has increased
The system is failing
The cost of telling the truth is increasing
Lying is the only way to stay in power
A movement has already begun
I hope that everyone sees you
For who you truly are

Chorus 1
Everything you say - pack of lies
Everything you do is only for your benefit and your cronies
Children are dying, their parents are crying
You have turned your back
Against the people you said that you'd protect

Chorus 2
Everything you say - pack of lies
Everything you do is only for your benefit and your cronies
Children are dying, their parents are crying
You are thumbing your nose at many people who voted for you
