Politics of Popularity Lyrics

We live in a world where celebrity wins
Caught up in the politics of popularity
Humanistic leaders feeding their ego
Tied down by the politics of popularity

Is it too much to ask to look beyond the mask
Can't you see that history is repeating
Had a chance and now they're back for more
It's the same on both sides, all are found wanting

Policy is determined by polls
Caught up in the politics of popularity
Faith is used by leaders as a ploy
Tied down by the politics of popularity

Is it too much to ask to look beyond the mask
Can't you see that history is repeating
Had a chance and now they're back for more
It's the same on both sides, all are found wanting

Give me your vote
I will give you money
Give me your vote
I will give you money

Is it too much to ask to look beyond the mask
Can't you see that history is repeating
Had a chance and now they're back for more
It's the same on both sides, all are found wanting, yeah
