I've never seen you on the streets of this town

I've never seen you just hanging around

But you still tell me that you know me...

I've never seen you walking out on my street

I've never seen you in the cafes where we eat

But you still tell me that you know me...

Well all I know, is you don't about me

And all I know, is you don't know anything

Except how to pull the wool over the public's eyes

Except how to tell us lies while you look us in the eye

Except how to play the system, how to play the game,

That lines your pockets with dough while the rest of us slave

I've never seen you when you weren't on tv

I've never seen you when you weren't out to be seen

But you still tell me that you know me...

I've never seen you in a cheap old used car

I've never seen you be who you claim you are

But you still tell me that you know me

Well all I know, is you don't about me

And all I know, is you don't know anything

The only time you've ever been on my street

The only time you've ever shaken my hand

The only time you've ever made a hard choice

The only time you've ever heard the people's voice

Is when you needed something, when you needed something

When you were looking for a vote, when you were looking for a vote

The only time you've ever seen the streets of this town

The only time you've ever been around Is at a photo oppurtunity

The only time you'll be out walking my street

The only time you've'll see the cafes where we eat Is before an election date

Cause all I know, is you don't care about me
