Only Empty Words Remain

Talks of promise

Pretend to respect

Luring with appeal

Benefits are in effect

Every year there’s a new form of strain

And we all watch while we slide down the drain

Empty promises are candidly plain

But still we listen when just empty words remain

Big words of commitments

But a big media reject

Communication filtered

Public has no time to reflect

Every year there’s a new form of strain

And we all watch while we slide down the drain

Empty promises are candidly plain

But still we listen when just empty words remain

Only empty words remain

Who is to trust who’s being sincere

While the people are controlled by fear

All leaders in the public’s eye

Maintain their secret dirty lies

Bloated speeches and a persuasive gaze

Hollow principles with promises of gain

A scandal could expose the lie

Fake news media would save the tie

Every year there’s a new form of strain

And we all watch while we slide down the drain

Empty promises are candidly plain

But still we listen when just empty words remain

Only empty words remain
