switch on the light







The dirtiest game will be played
As the night right to the dawn
The candles burning in dark corridors
The manipulating tricks begun long ago

The cash incentives given away
On the spin to tell the folks the government care
The worrying of losing the gravy train
Carve it out for cronies to gain

A few hundred millions
To silence the groveling in protests
The buying time to prop up power
It's the castle building in the air

Behind the gate of corporate dealings
Billions rock the road to the war chest?
It seems likely as the people counting cash
They forget the sleigh of hands

The tricks of magician
The giving away of objects
The applause of job well done
Behind the door the manipulations

So people don't get cowed
You have jumped the bar to get the change
It is within your rights to make it
Switch on the light let darkness disappear
