(verse 1)
Voices on the left, screams from the right.
Fighting over everything, everyone is blind.
The doctors, the teachers, the postmen too.
Beware of the one that befriends you.
YOU WILL BOW BEFORE POWER!
He's the one who says he will fight
for the powerless, for all that is right.
The hookers, the junkies, the homeless too.
In the end, everybody gets screwed!
YOU WILL BOW BEFORE POWER!
No matter what they say, they're all the same.
(chorus)
POLITICON! POLITICON! POLITICON!
Selling you hope with my lies.
POLITICON! POLITICON! POLITICON!
Watching you sink as I rise.
Doesn't matter if what he says is true.
Pledging allegiance to the red, white and blue.
The soldiers, the generals, the people too.
Sent off to war. Sent to their doom!
YOU WILL BOW BEFORE POWER!
Another puppet dancing on a string.
Corporation stockholders are counting their sheep.
The techies, the yuppies, the C.E.O.s too.
Their hands in your pockets, all robbing you.
YOU WILL BOW BEFORE POWER!
Land of the weak, and the home of the slave!
(chorus)
This is the way it's happened before.
Last time it was a world war.
It's been our system since we began.
The rise of politics. The folly of man.
You could've stopped it but now it's too late.
Thank you my subjects and...
BOW BEFORE POLITICON!
