Worn out words and platitudes, the more they talk the less we understand
  Shoved around in circles
    Like pieces of dirt while the oppressive forces alter back and forth
  Between left and right [x2]
    You went caught in the middle
  Between a rock and a hard place
    Raise their own salaries, increase the gap of social standards between themselves and the people they're supposed to represent
    Someone please explain

  Tell me where's that welfare state that they speak so highly of
  Yeah, tell me where's that welfare state that they speak so highly of
  Do we need more people living on the streets, do we need more people living on the streets before they'll open up their eyes?
    Choose between the lesser of two evils, vote for none of the above, do we really have a choice anyway?
