Bought a mask from the corner store Waving flags like it's summer war Cranking tunes from the open car Living large like a shooting star Talking big on the midnight news Shiny suits and red-white shoes Promises like candy bars Sweet and gone by the morning stars All the presidents dancing in the rain Counting votes like it's all a game Telling jokes we're the ones to blame Laughing loud no one's feeling shame Photo ops in the crowded streets Shaking hands with no heartbeats Smiling wide like they've got a plan Till the truth hits the ceiling fan Hollow words in a polished speech Eyes glazed on a rocky beach Whispers quiet secrets keep Dreams of power never sleep All the presidents dancing in the rain Counting votes like it's all a game Telling jokes we're the ones to blame Laughing loud no one's feeling shame
