Politicians Who Pray (808 State Mix)

[Verse] Politicians with rosaries, promises on whims Holy hands clasped, gripping "ain't no sin" Cloaked in holy garments, facades run thin Words dripping honey, lies spun within [Verse 2] Mouths mumbling mantras, deeds tell another tale On their knees at the altar, hearts cold and pale Scriptures quoted loosely, veiled behind a veil Hymns of hypocrisy, intentions up for sale [Chorus] Preaching from a pulpit, policy in praise Praying to the dollar, faith in a daze Hands held high, sinners on display Politicians who pray, souls in disarray [Verse 3] Behind closed doors, backroom deals unfold Chanting for the public, secretly sold Pockets lined with power, promises grown old Faith a performance, hearts turned to mold [Bridge] Kneeling on the pews, illusions in the eyes Beneath the stained glass, truth in disguise Power masquerading, wearing holy ties Divine intervention, just a pack of lies [Verse 4] Votes gathered in churches, prayers in disguise Proclamations of piety, all part of their guise Brothers and sisters, time to realize Behind their devotions, deceit thrives and cries
