Sick Political Game

[Verse 1]
They promise you the easy way
One button and it all goes smooth, they say
But workers waiting for their pay
While Houston sits in long delay

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, they tell you what you want to hear
Simple answers, make the problem disappear
But the truth is standing crystal clear
Billion dollars gone this year

[Chorus]
It's a sick political game, yeah
Easy promises, but who's to blame?
They flip the switch and walk away
While working people never get their day
Sick political game
Sick political game

[Verse 2]
Democrats are scrambling round
System crashing to the ground
That off-switch that they thought they found
Just chaos spreading town to town

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, they sell you what you want to buy
Pretty package wrapped up in a lie
But working hands are running dry
While the billion passes by

[Chorus]
It's a sick political game, yeah
Easy promises, but who's to blame?
They flip the switch and walk away
While working people never get their day
Sick political game
Sick political game

[Bridge]
Houston waiting
Austin waiting
Dallas, San Antonio
El Paso to Amarillo
Every city feeling the blow

[Chorus]
It's a sick political game, yeah
Easy promises, but who's to blame?
They flip the switch and walk away
While working people never get their day
Sick political game
Sick political game

[Outro]
(Sick political game)
Working people never get their day
(Sick political game)
They just flip the switch and walk away
