Derek Webb - A Savior on Capitol Hill lyrics
[Derek Webb - A Savior on Capitol Hill lyrics]
I'm so tired of these mortal men
With their hands on their wallets and
Their hearts full of sin
Scared of their enemies
Scared of their friends
And always running for re-election
So come to DC if it be thy will
Because we've never had a
Savior on Capitol Hill
You can always trust the
Devil or a politician
To be the devil or a politician
But beyond that friends you'd best beware
'cause at the Pentagon bar
They're an inseparable pair
And as long as the lobbyists
Are paying their bills
We'll never have a savior on Capitol Hill
All of our problems gonna disappear
When we can whisper right
In that President's ear
He could walk right across
The reflection pool in his combat boots and
Ten thousand dollar suit
You can render unto Caesar
Everything that's his
You can trust in his power
To come to your defense
It's the way of the world, the way of the gun
It's the trading of an evil for a lesser one
So don't hold your breath or your vote until
You think you've finally found a
Savior up on Capitol Hill
With their hands on their wallets and
Their hearts full of sin
Scared of their enemies
Scared of their friends
And always running for re-election
So come to DC if it be thy will
Because we've never had a
Savior on Capitol Hill
You can always trust the
Devil or a politician
To be the devil or a politician
But beyond that friends you'd best beware
'cause at the Pentagon bar
They're an inseparable pair
And as long as the lobbyists
Are paying their bills
We'll never have a savior on Capitol Hill
All of our problems gonna disappear
When we can whisper right
In that President's ear
He could walk right across
The reflection pool in his combat boots and
Ten thousand dollar suit
You can render unto Caesar
Everything that's his
You can trust in his power
To come to your defense
It's the way of the world, the way of the gun
It's the trading of an evil for a lesser one
So don't hold your breath or your vote until
You think you've finally found a
Savior up on Capitol Hill
