Well I met a politician
Shoot me blind
Eliminatin' plans for me that I never knew were mine
She'd yet to find, reach across dark dark night
She'd yet to find, reach down deep and give her daylight
It's a walk through silent doorways
Across bridges of my mind
And every silent step you take
Echoed in my mind
And I'll wait for a century
And I waited for a year
And I waited for the clocks to stop
Waitin' for her here
And I said money changes everything
Your words are just a lie
Yet she colors me in pictures
With green and greys
An ode to my younger, lonely days
And a kiss to remind me that
She's not behind me
When I fall down in America, yeah
And I said money changes everything
Your words are just a lie
Well I met a politician
Shoot me blind
Eliminatin' plans for me that I never knew were mine
She'd yet to find reach across dark dark night
She'd yet to find reach down deep and give her daylight
And I said money changes everything
Your words are just a lie
And I said money, money, money changes everything
And I said money, money, money, money, money, money, money changes everything
