A Millionaire's Dream

Yo, check it, it's a twisted game, let me explain
Politics, the realm where wealth and power reign
They say it's public service, but I see the fame
Easy street to riches, ain't that the name of the game?
Step into the office, promises in hand
Campaign trail blazing, making all these grandstand
Tell the people what they wanna hear, it's all planned
But behind closed doors, it's a whole different brand

Being a politician, man, it's a millionaire's dream
Rolling in dough, while the people's hopes just gleam
Playing with power, like it's some kind of scheme
But hey, in this game, that's just the way of the regime, regime
That's just the way of the regime

Lobbyists knocking, with pockets deep and wide
Trade a few favors, take a little ride
Regulations bend, and the rules collide
While the common folk struggle, just trying to survive
Backroom deals, and offshore accounts
Money flowing in, from all different amounts
Campaign contributions, like a fountain that mounts
While the average Joe wonders what it's all about

Being a politician, man, it's a millionaire's dream
Rolling in dough, while the people's hopes just gleam
Playing with power, like it's some kind of scheme
But hey, in this game, that's just the way of the regime, regime
That's just the way of the regime

Lobbyists knocking, with pockets deep and wide
Trade a few

To keep electing those who don't hear their voice
While they sit back, and watch their own wealth rejoice

Being a politician, man, it's a millionaire's dream
Rolling in dough, while the people's hopes just gleam
Playing with power, like it's some kind of scheme
But hey, in this game, that's just the way of the regime, regime
That's just the way of the regime

So here's the truth about the game they play
It's not about the people, it's just about the pay
Becoming a millionaire, in the political sway
Seems easy enough, but at what cost, I say?
