[Hook: Matisyahu]
[Verse 1: Benefit]
Dishonest politician, calm and always on his mission
Conning all of those who listen long enough to his position
He's hollering hollow promises, following dollar signs
They wallow in all his comments, they're swallowing all his lines
The campaign trail, they travel and have a nation
Babbling aggravation, they dabble in fabrication
And then every dollar and cent that they borrow and print
Tomorrow is spent on wars full of sorrow and debt
Until the currency collapses, world is turning on its axis
And there's riots in the streets, and it's burning into blackness
National insecurity, irrational fury
It's all unsustainable, about to crash in a hurry
And who will fight for us?
The corrupt coward dies a thousand times on his power rise
So it's really no surprise, he's just a human in disguise
Just a human in disguise, just a human in disguise
[Hook: Matisyahu]
[Verse 2: Benefit]
The honest common citizen's a systematic victim
But he doesn't realize that it's the system that has tricked him
And has stripped him of his rights and convinced him that he's free
So against his sense he won't commence to hop the fence and flee
But the truth is something evident that common sense can see
And he feels an ominous presence that dominates the scene
Now he's watching the TV and he's sort of confused
Cause they're distorting the views they choose to report in the news
Plus he's dead broke, he can't afford to be used
By any system that's rigged to let the poor be abused
And he sees the politicians plan to profit on disaster
And he realizes Babylon's a propaganda master
So now he keeps his eyes wide awake
Not surprised by the fake lies devised by the snake
And he keeps his faith in the fact that the truth will forever rise
Whoever tries to sever ties to clever lies never dies
