All the Good They Say

Verse 1

Left wing and I just can't get along

Right wing and I just can't get along

They both think I'm wrong

Verse 2

Don't talk about it on the radio

Don't talk about it on the TV show

Or nobody will know

Pre-Chorus

Why does it have to be this way?

Why can't we all just get along?

Chorus

I wish the politicians would

Do all the good they say they would

I know they would if only they were good

But politics, politics suck

Verse 3

They say I'm lazy 'cause I'm out of work

But they're the reason that it hasn't worked

It drives me berserk

Verse 4

They tell us what we ought to think and say

Then laugh about it at the end of the day

They just play their games

Pre-Chorus

Why does it always end that way?

Why can't we all just get along?

Chorus

I wish the politicians would

Do all the good they say they would

I know they would if only they were good

But politics, politics suck

Bridge

It's been the way since Washington and Lincoln

But I'm not sure it's gettin' any better

If there were less of 'em, there'd be more progress

Instead of less of us gettin' better

Chorus

I wish the politicians would

Do all the good they say they would

I know they would if only they were good

Outro

If all the folks who vote would do the same

Maybe then it wouldn't be the same

But 'til that day, I'm gonna play this game

And say politics, politics suck, yeah

Politics, politics suck
