Political Games Lyrics - Lucky Dube

How do you feel when you lie? 

Straight faced while people cry 

How do you feel when you promise something 

That you know you'll never do 

Giving false hope to the people 

Giving false hope to the underpriviledged 

Do you really sleep at night? 

When you know you're living a lie 

To you it is just a job 

To the people it hurts to the bone 

Chorus 

Ooh political games that they play x 4 

What do you say to the orphans? 

Of the women and men you sent to war 

What do you say to the widows? 

Of the men you sent to war 

Telling them it is good for the country 

When you know it's good for your ego 

What a shame. 

Do you really sleep at night? 

When you know you're living a lie 

You talking tough, you talking sincerely 

Giving false hope to the infected 

Giving false hope to the affected. 

To you it is just a job 

To the people it hurts to the bone. 

Chorus 

Ooh political games that they play
