lyrics

This is a smoke and mirrors game
This is a smoke and mirrors game

A career based on wealth from daddy
Never golfs without a caddy
Don’t need to own any shorts
No belief in real sports

This is a smoke and mirrors game
This is a smoke and mirrors game

Physical activity rejected for stale standing
Never cleared his mind in a job ever so demanding
Don’t you know that blood flow comes from being active?
Your harsh stance on everything makes you so unattractive

This is a smoke and mirrors game
This is a smoke and mirrors game
This is a smoke and mirrors game
This is a smoke and mirrors game

I can’t believe how he’s come so far
Friends in high places excuse
His awkward actions for genius
Yet this unfit leader may doom us

This is a smoke and mirrors game
This is a smoke and mirrors game
This is a smoke and mirrors game
This is a smoke and mirrors game

Give all his wealth to his friends
Make no effort to reach out and make amends
For all the lives that he has ruined
Why don’t we hold him accountable
Some will say give him a chance
Experienced bodies abandoned in scores
We need to fix all the holes
He’s making in society
Band together not apart
Solidarity is only the start
We must take this into our hands
Show our leaders our demands

This is a smoke and mirrors game
