I've never seen you on the streets of this town
i've never seen you just hanging around
but you still tell me that you know me...
i've never seen you walking out on my street
i've never seen you in the cafes where we eat
but still you tell me that you know me...
well all i know, is you don't about me
and all i know, is you don't know anything
except how to pull the wool over the public's eyes
except how to tell us lies while you look us in the eye
except how to play the system, how to play the game,
that lines your pockets with gold while the rest of us slave
i've never seen you when you weren't on tv
i've never seen you when you weren't out to be seen
but you still tell me that you know me...
i've never seen you in a cheap old used car
i've never seen you be who you claim you are
but you still tell me that you know me yeah
well all i know, is you don't about me
and all i know, is you don't know anything
the only time you've ever been on my street
the only time you've ever shaken my hand
the only time you've ever made a hard choice
the only time you've ever heard the people's voice
is when you needed something, when you needed something
when you were looking for a vote, when you were looking for a vote
the only time you've ever seen the streets of this town
the only time you've ever been around is at a photo oppurtunity
the only time you'll be out walking my street
the only time you'll see the cafes where we eat is before an election day
cause all i know, is you don't care about me
and all i know is, you're only driven by your greed.
