Too many Politicians Lying Nove Otto

Too many politicians lying
Too many people lie dying
Politicians offer prayer
Just refusing to do anything
They lie, say they can’t do a thing
Dead gun ghosts continue to stare
Will we ever end this madness
Will we just endure such sadness
Evil politicians don’t care
