Lyrics
[Verse 1]
They smile for the lens, then slide for the deal
Fingers in the pie, but they swear it's for real
I see the fine print tucked in the grin
My rent goes up while they cash it in
They say "for the people" with a mouth full of gold
But the same old favors keep the same hands bold
Lobbyists calling, doors stay shut
My block stays broke while their pockets go up
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me who they answer to
'Cause it ain't me, it ain't you
Every promise on the floor
Turns to dust behind the door
[Chorus]
Pocketed votes, pocketed votes
You take and you take, then you act like a ghost
Pocketed votes, pocketed votes
Not for the crowd, just for the donors' notes
Pocketed votes, pocketed votes
We see the game, we know the whole coast
[Verse 2]
They stand in the hall with a hand on the Bible
Then dodge every line like a kid in denial
Above the law, that's the costume they wear
But the cameras blink and the cracks show there
My cousin needs help, my neighbor needs time
They need a yes, they get a line
Meanwhile suits get fat in the back of the room
And the rest of us choke on the smoke and the fumes
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me who they answer to
'Cause it ain't me, it ain't you
Every promise on the floor
Turns to dust behind the door
[Chorus]
Pocketed votes, pocketed votes
You take and you take, then you act like a ghost
Pocketed votes, pocketed votes
Not for the crowd, just for the donors' notes
Pocketed votes, pocketed votes
We see the game, we know the whole coast
[Bridge]
Break the spell, read the names
Same old script, different frames
If they can't be touched, then who pays
While the bill keeps growing day by day?
[Chorus]
Pocketed votes, pocketed votes
You take and you take, then you act like a ghost
Pocketed votes, pocketed votes
Not for the crowd, just for the donors' notes
Pocketed votes, pocketed votes
We see the game, we know the whole coast
