When the politician speaks
You know that he has spoken
When the politician lies
You know she speaks the truth
When the politician vows
You know that it will be broken
But still they look for you
Still they look for you
It's all for you
When the politician falls
You know that he's a winner
For the boardroom calls
and the money flows
Yeah, it's who you know
Yeh.. it's who you know
The politician's for you
the politician's for you
