Story Behind The Song

I've watched politicians destroy our country. I can't stand it.

Song Description

This song talks about an all-too-common brand of politician who cares more about preserving the power structure that brings them wealth than they do about the good of the country or its citizens.

Lyrics

Play it down, play it down
Pass the script spread it all around
Play it down, play it down
Pick up your orders today

You got your briefing, we got our reasons
Now go and paint this pretty face on things
And if they ask you what you believe in
And how it reconciles with what you been

Preserve the image, we'll stick together
It doesn't matter what you really do
Swear your allegiance and in the back room
We'll count the scratch and we'll do right by you

And if they break the line they gonna learn how one we are
The machine's gonna take 'em down
That machine's gonna spin it round and round

If you get dirty we'll clean your fingers
And all you have to do is talk that talk
We'll blame the sinners, you'll walk away clean
Until the next time that we make that call
