Hope and promises of change
Tales of honor in exchange
Advertisements getting strange
Elections are that way
But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I wish were done
Elections block the way
I’ve looked at them from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
In their delusions I recall
I don’t like lies at all
But now it’s just another show
They leave us crying as they go
And if you dare, don’t let them know
Don’t give your vote away
Seen politics from both sides now
From give and take, and still somehow
In their delusions I recall
They really have no love at all
Oh but now old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads, they say I’ve changed
Well something’s lost but something’s gained
In each election day
Seen elections from both sides now
From WIN and LOSE and still somehow
In their delusions I recall
I really don’t like lies at all
I’ve looked at lies from both sides now
From up and down and still somehow
It’s in delusions I recall
I really don’t like lies at all
