Lucky Dube - Political Games

How do you feel when you lie?
Straight faced while people cry
How do you feel when you promise something
That you know you'll never do
Giving false hope to the people
Giving false hope to the underprivileged
Do you really sleep at night?
When you know you're living a lie
To you it is just a job
To the people it hurts to the bone

Ooh, political games, that they play
Ooh, political games, that they play
Ooh, political games, that they play
Ooh, political games, that they play

(..)

What do you say to the orphans?
Of the women and men you sent to war
What do you say to the widows?
Of the men you sent to war
Telling them it is good for the country
When you know it's good for your ego (what a shame)
Do you really sleep at night?
When you know you're living a lie
(Living a lie, living a lie)
You talking tough, you talking sincerely
(Talking tough, you talking sincerely)
Giving false hope to the infected
Giving false hope to the affected
To you it is just a job
To the people it hurts to the bone

(..)

Ooh, political games, that they play
Ooh, political games, that they play
Ooh, political games, that they play..
