Corporate Politician

Just breathe
And smile at the people
Straighten your back
Look into their eyes
Read
From their expressions
Echo their anger [D D Db Db B]
Promise them peace
Woe

Is it right, is it right, is it righteousness
That gives you the permission
To be ruler of the day
Day and night, day and night, you say you fight for this
‘Cause you’re a corporate politician
Showing us the way

Woe

(instrumental)

Pledge
Your every allegiance
Leverage their values
There’s truth in a lie
Cry
At the injustice
Denounce the corruption
Disown your success
Woe

Is it right, is it right, is it righteousness
That gives you the permission
To be ruler of the day
Day and night, day and night, you say you fight for this
‘Cause you’re a corporate politician
Showing us the way

Woe
