We've Heard It All Before (10-2000)

I won't be taking odds of six to four
On who wins the race for the White House Bush or Gore
As they scramble for power on a distant shore
You well might say we've heard it all before.

Who wins or loses why should I even care
For it means nothing to me what happens over there
And though we read of it in the papers every day
It's just another Land the U S A

Of the American President much we hear and read
As if by good example he did lead
But because of some of them many innocents have died
From the falling bombs so few places to hide.

And what can George W Bush or Al Gore do for me
When in their own Country there is such poverty
And the slums grow bigger with the increasing poor
And the few wealthy grow more powerful and secure.

The White House soon Bill Clinton has to leave
And he was one who flattered to deceive
And now we read and hear of Bush and Gore
You well might say that we've heard it all before.
