There's so much for you to do now
Through all the sleaze and bile
Get a handshake from the one who's going to save us
A warm and caring smile

You don't fool
The people you promised the earth and the moon
You wanted everyone to love you for your words
You wanted everything on Earth

Let's see you smile
Let's see you smile
Come on and play out an age-old game
Same damn lies and nothing's changed

Drop the bomb and shoot the faceless
Secret deal behind closed doors
Get your best side for the picture in the papers
And watch your ratings soar

You should know
People remember who's running the show
You wanted everyone to love you for your words
You wanted everything on Earth

Let's see you smile
Let's see you smile
Come on and play out an age-old game
Same damn lies and nothing's changed

Hey man, this is what you are
Straight lines, blinkered little star

Let's see that smile
Let's see you smile
Come on and play out an age-old game
Same damn platitudes
Let's see you smile
Let's see you smile
Come on and play out an age-old game
Same damn lies and nothing's changed.
