Well over the sea, and far away, 
Our kids die in deserts, they been sent that way, 
To guard oil rigs where the head cutters reign, 
And blow them away without any refrain 
Well why are we here? It’s thinning us out, 
To see our life’s work in your constituents clout, 
Is your exclusion of dissidence masking your guilt? 
Do you want to be dissident in the world that you’ve built?

Political scum! Political scum! 
You lead the way, you beat the drum
Political scum, Political scum! 
Sacrificing your own while their under your thumb

When broke powerless people grab any power they can get 
Dominance over women, racism and threats 
We’ll be loosing media jobs and you make us your pet 
Reconsidering this weakness and the promise he forgets 
Do you really believe in the stories you tell? 
How Christ turned his cheek or came down from the hill 
Will you profiteer or ransack with the soldiers you kill, 
Are you upward bound or will you burn in hell?! 

Political scum! Political scum! 
You lead the way, you beat the drum 
Political scum, Political scum! 
Sacrificing your own while their under your thumb
