Pack of Lies

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
