Poli-ticking

There is a voiceless presence waiting in the wing
Been there a long time waiting for it's time to sing
Few that are waiting even know that it is there
It's hard to say that if they knew that they would care

Oh, if we had ears to hear it now
Oh, if we could stop, tune in somehow
Maybe we could stop this madness now, maybe we could stop

Chaotic noise is always shouting in my ear
I can't find a respite, makes me want to disappear
Peace so elusive, politician's throwaway
Can we concern ourselves with that another day
Don't get distracted I just want your vote today
It doesn't matter, you don't hear the things I say

Oh, if we had ears to hear it now
Oh, if we could stop and heed somehow
Maybe we could stop this madness now, maybe we could stop

All that seems to matter is to get your point across
Nothing else important, you just talk at any cost
Pick any issue, find a way to criticize
Likely tomorrow not a one will realize
Anything you said is just a lie you put to bed
Change your course, no one remembers what you said

Oh, if we had ears to hear it now
Oh, if we could stop and think somehow
Maybe we could stop this madness now, maybe we could stop
